glomus tumor/headache

We have treated 14 patients with glomus tumor during the 4 years (of 1993 to 1997) using Leksell Gamma Knife radiosurgery. The male: female ratio was 1:3.7, and the mean age 48.6 years (range 22-75 years). The mean tumor volume was 5.5 cm3 (range 0.7-11.3 cm3). The mean maximum dose was 37.4 Gy

Glomus tumors, also called paragangliomas, are challenging lesions, demanding accurate knowledge of complex anatomy and pertinent approaches. We present the case of a 39-year-old male presenting with headache, vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and hoarseness. Neurological assessment showed facial

We report two patients with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) and carotid glomus tumour. The first patient presented with multiple thunderclap headaches. Cervical and cerebral magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse cerebral vasoconstriction on magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA)

Primary non-neuroendocrine tumours of the pituitary gland and sella are rare lesions often challenging to diagnose. We describe two cases of clinically aggressive primary glomus tumour of the pituitary gland. The lesions occurred in a 63-year-old male and a 30-year-old female who presented with

This paper highlights the case of a 46-year-old female patient who seeks ophthalmic medical advice for her complaint about double vision on right gaze. Patient's medical history reveals several symptoms like headaches, progressive hearing loss on right side and dysphonia for which all investigations

OBJECTIVE To compare clinical, radiologic, and pathologic characteristics, as well as management and outcomes, in a series of pheochromocytomas, abdominal and pelvic paragangliomas, and pelvic paragangliomas with head and neck paragangliomas. METHODS In this retrospective study, we reviewed charts

Patients with an endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) typically present with palsy of cranial nerves VII and/or VIII; other presenting symptoms include hearing loss, otalgia, occipital headaches, cranial nerve palsies, vertigo, gait ataxia, tinnitus, and otorrhea. ELSTs are extremely vascular, and they
