    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Glomus tumors, also known as chemodectomas, are rare neoplasms.
    • They most commonly occur in the head and neck, particularly the jugular foramen and middle ear.

    Observation:

    • Glomus vagale tumors are exceedingly rare, with approximately 70 cases reported.
    • Bilateral occurrences are exceptionally uncommon, with only two previously reported cases.
    • This study presents two new cases, one of which is bilateral.

    Findings:

    • One patient was diagnosed with bilateral glomus vagale.
    • Radiation therapy was selectively applied to one side to prevent bilateral vagus nerve damage.
    • The study discusses the incidence, diagnosis, and management of glomus vagale tumors.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the rarity and presentation of bilateral glomus vagale is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Careful management, including selective radiation, is necessary to avoid severe complications like bilateral vagus nerve damage.
    • This case report contributes to the limited literature on glomus vagale, informing clinical practice.
