    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Glomus jugulare tumors are rare paragangliomas originating in the temporal bone, often presenting with cranial nerve deficits.
    • Vocal cord paralysis and associated neuropathic pain can be indicative of advanced tumor growth impacting lower cranial nerves.

    Observation:

    • A 53-year-old female presented with left vocal cord paralysis, accompanied by sharp, shooting pains in the left neck, shoulder, and upper arm.
    • Diagnostic imaging, including angiography and computed tomography, confirmed the presence of a glomus jugulare tumor.

    Findings:

    • Due to surgical contraindications, the patient received radiotherapy for the glomus jugulare tumor.
    • Symptomatic resolution, including the resolution of vocal cord paralysis and neuropathic pain, was achieved within three months of treatment.

    Implications:

    • Glomus jugulare tumors require consideration in the differential diagnosis of chronic otitis, deafness, tinnitus, and lower cranial nerve dysfunction in adults.
    • Radiotherapy presents a viable and effective treatment option for glomus jugulare tumors when surgery is not feasible, leading to significant symptom improvement.
