Abstract Abstract:ObjectiveTo explore the clinical pathological, imaging features indications and treatment of cervical vagal paraganglioma（VP）.MethodsThe clinical data of one patient with cervical VP was retrospectively analyzed. And the associated literatures were reviewed. The patient was female, aged 59, and was found the tumor located in upper left neck with size of 4.5 cm×4.0 cm×4.0 cm. The surgical intervention was performed. After fully exposing the tumor during the operation, the tumor blood supply showed abundantly, and the blood vessel was cut off. The tumor was closely related to the vagus nerve, so the partial vagus nerve was retained and the tumor was removed.ResultsPostoperative pathology confirmed the VP in the case. The mild postoperative hoarseness and eating choke to cough appeared after the surgery. Reviewed the relevant literatures and summarize the characteristics of the case, it is suggested that VP has its specific location and MRI features, and surgical treatment is the most important.ConclusionsThe clinical manifestation of the VP is nonspecific and difficult to be diagnosed before operation. The surgery or radiotherapy can be selected according to the severity of clinical symptoms, and the prognosis is reliable.
