Jugular Foramen Tumors

Jugular foramen tumors are rare cranial base lesions that present diagnostic and management difficulties. Paragangliomas were themost frequent lesions, followed by schwannomas and meningiomas. These tumors have characteristic radiological features. Radicalresection of these tumors with preservation of the lower cranial nerves is the treatment of choice. Despite the advances in skull basesurgery, new postoperative lower cranial nerve deficits still represent a challenge.
