Intracranial catecholamine secreting paragangliomas.

M D Nelson, B E Kendall

    Neuroradiology
    |January 1, 1987

    Summary

    This study describes three rare intracranial catecholamine-secreting paragangliomas. Pre-procedure hormonal evaluation and catecholamine blockade are crucial for patient safety during interventions.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Endocrinology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that can secrete catecholamines.
    • Intracranial paragangliomas, particularly those involving the glomus jugulare, sphenopalatine ganglion, clivus, and upper cervical spine, are exceptionally uncommon.
    • Accurate diagnosis and management are critical due to their potential for significant morbidity.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of intracranial catecholamine-secreting paragangliomas are presented, located in the glomus jugulare, sphenopalatine ganglion, and clivus/upper cervical spine.
    • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were utilized to delineate tumor extent.
    • All tumors exhibited high vascularity, receiving substantial supply from systemic arteries.

    Findings:

    • Particulate embolization was performed on all three tumors, followed by surgical resection in two cases.
    • The study highlights the critical importance of pre-procedural hormonal evaluation, specifically for catecholamine secretion, in suspected paragangliomas.
    • Intra-arterial procedures like angiography and embolization require careful catecholamine blockade and monitoring.

    Implications:

    • Early identification of catecholamine secretion in suspected paragangliomas is vital to prevent life-threatening hypertensive crises during invasive procedures.
    • Comprehensive pre-operative management, including hormonal blockade and resuscitation preparedness, is essential for safe surgical and interventional radiological approaches.
    • This case series underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex intracranial paragangliomas.
