This study reviews parapharyngeal space (PPS) neoplasms, finding neurogenic tumors most common. Imaging like CT and MRI are crucial for diagnosis and surgical planning of PPS tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Context:

  • The parapharyngeal space (PPS) is a complex anatomical region.
  • Neoplasms in the PPS present diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Surgical approaches vary based on tumor characteristics.

Purpose:

  • To explore the diagnosis and management of parapharyngeal space (PPS) neoplasms.
  • To review surgical outcomes for PPS tumors.
  • To evaluate the role of imaging in PPS neoplasm management.

Summary:

  • Neurogenic tumors were the most common primary PPS neoplasms in this series.
  • CT and MRI are essential for diagnosing PPS neoplasms, detailing size, shape, extent, and site.
  • Carotid arteriography aids in visualizing tumor vasculature, particularly for glomus tumors or when carotid artery involvement is suspected.

Impact:

  • Accurate presurgical diagnosis and planning using CT and/or MRI are vital for successful PPS neoplasm management.
  • Specific surgical approaches (transcervical, transoral, transparotid, infratemporal) are selected based on tumor location, size, and vascular involvement.
  • Radiological evidence is critical for planning approaches when internal carotid artery injury risk is significant.
