ABSTRACT
Glomus jugulare tumors consist in rare, vascularized masses,
belonging to the paraganglia tumors, considered a challenging
pathology to treat. They are usually benign, slow-growing and locally
invasive lesions. The diagnosis is performed with clinical examination
and CT, MRI, and specially, arteriography. Multimodal treatment can
be performed to manage these tumors. We reviewed the literature
of glomus tumors including the experience of the senior author with
his series. Intraoperative pictures and the correlation with cadaveric
preparations were used to show important relationships between
osseous, dural, vascular and neural elements. Glomus jugulare tumors
involve a complex anatomical region with important relations among
vessels, nerves, bones and dural structures. Anatomical knowledge is
essential to achieve good surgical results. The surgical treatment is
an excellent option to treat these lesions, considering the immediate
cure and low morbidity range
