Authors: Carlos Moreno-García, Raúl González-García, María Asunción Pons García, Florencio Monje

Published in: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery | Issue 4/2015

Abstract

Introduction

A rare case of vagal paraganglioma is reported.

Material and Methods

The specific radiological features of this tumor are presented to the clinician in order to make presumptive diagnosis.

Conclusion

By CT-scan and/or MRI it must be suspected when a hypervascular tumor in relation to the major cervical vessels displaces the internal and external carotid arteries forward, does not open the carotid bifurcation, and displaces the internal jugular vein backwards.
