Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Horner's complex is a neurological condition affecting the eye and face.
  • Cervical masses can arise from various tissues, requiring accurate diagnosis.
  • Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that can occur in the neck.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old male presented with Horner's complex and a growing neck mass.
  • Imaging revealed a hypervascular tumor near the carotid bifurcation.

Findings:

  • Diagnostic imaging (duplex-sonography, angiography, CT) identified a hypervascular cervical tumor.
  • Surgical and histological analysis confirmed a sympathetic paraganglioma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive imaging in diagnosing cervical masses.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for sympathetic paraganglioma.
