Abstract
Paragangliomas are benign tumors that originates from paraganglia of parasympathetic nervous system. They are characterized by slow growth and late clinical symptoms. In the head and neck localize around carotid bifurcation, jugular bulb, along the vagus nerve and in the tympanic cavity. Typical complaints are: pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss initially conductive, and as the disease progresses sensorineural hearing loss. Diagnosis of these tumors at an early stage of development allows the selection of optimal treatment and radical removal of the tumor. Authors presented a case of huge paraganglioma, which progressed significantly during observation period. Tumor extended within temporal bone, external auditory canal and intracranially. The patient was treated surgically. A near total resection of the tumor was performed with consecutive facial nerve reconstruction.
