Abstract

Glomus Jugulare Tumor With Multiple Lower Cranial Nerves Palsy: Case Report Scientific background: Glomus jugulare tumor is a rare and mostly benign type of paraganglioma localized in or around the jugular foramen. Pulsatile tinnitus, conductive hearing loss and aural fullness are the most common presenting symptoms. Moreover, it may cause significant lower cranial nerve deficits due to mass effect. Glomus jugulare tumors are generally slow-growing, benign lesions, however; their pronounced local aggressiveness frequently results in severe neurological deficits. Case: A 63 year-old woman presented with VIII, IX, X, XI, Xllth cranial nerves palsy on the left side. Cranial imaging revealed a left-sided glomus jugulare tumor. The patient was considered to be of very high risk due to severe local invasion to surrounding bones and close proximity to vital structures and underwent gamma knife surgery. Conclusion: Signs of glomus jugulare tumors are related to tumor localization. These generally appear following a long silent period due to slow growth rate. Surgical option can be limited if the tumor is close to vital structures. Although rare, the diagnosis of glomus jugulare tumor should be kept in mind in cases of slowly developing multiple lower cranial nerves palsy.

Özet

Bilimsel zemin: Glomus jugulare tümörleri nadir görülen, sıklıkla iyi huylu, jugular foramenin içinde veya etrafında yerleşen paragangliomalardır. En sık rastlanan klinik semptomlar; pulsatil tinnitus, otalji, iletim tipi işitme kaybı, kulakta dolgunluk hissidir. Kitle etkilerinden dolayı alt kranial sinirlerde fonksiyon kaybına neden olabilirler. Glomus jugulare tümörleri genellikle yavaş büyüyen tümörlerdir. Ancak, lokal agresif yayılımları ciddi nörolojik kayıpların ortaya çıkmasına neden olur. Olgu: Bu yazıda 63 yaşında, solda VIII, IX, X, XI, XII. kranial sinir tutulumu ile başvuran, yapılan görüntülemesinde solda glomus jugulare tümörü saptanan ve kitlenin çevre dokulara ve kemiğe invazyon nedeni ile gamma knife cerrahisi uygulanan bir kadın hasta sunulmaktadır. Yorum: Glomus jugulare tümörleri yerleşim yerlerine göre bulgu veren, yavaş büyümeleri nedeni ile uzun süre sessiz kalabilen, ancak büyüdüklerinde de önemli anatomik yapılara komşulukları nedeni ile cerrahi tedavisi zorluk oluşturan özellikli tümörlerdir. Nadir olmakla birlikte, yavaş gelişen multipl alt kranial sinir tutulumunda ayırıcı tanıda glomus jugulare tümörlerinin akılda bulundurulması gerekmektedir.
