Tactics of surgical treatment of recurrent glomus tumors of the skull base: A clinical case.

Aim: The purpose of the study is to build effective tactics of surgical treatment of pathology, and to increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with this diagnosis by optimising preoperative preparation, and the correct sequence of actions that will help prevent relapse.

Methods: The leading approach to the study is the description of a clinical case, which will help to carefully consider this issue from all angles, analyse the methodology of patient examination, and build highly effective tactics of surgical intervention to eliminate tumour-like masses, minimising the risks of recurrence. The second clinical case was also considered, and a comparative analysis was carried out on certain parameters.

Results: The paper presents a clinical case with a practical aspect of surgical treatment of the pathology. The issue of detailed symptoms and manifestations of the disease is disclosed, and the course of surgical interventions is described in stages, in which no nerve is damaged, no complications are caused, and the desired result is achieved. The peculiarity of this case is the recurrence of the disease, and the ineffectiveness of previous treatment methods, including embolisation of the neoplasm and antromastoidotomy.

Conclusions: The results obtained in the course of this study and the formulated conclusions are of great importance for surgeons who are faced with patients with the stated diagnosis.
