Description
Giant and functional paragangliomas of the skull base are rare. Their endocrinological and surgical management is challenging. We report the case of an aggressive giant noradrenalin-secreting paraganglioma of the right temporal bone. Three procedures of embolisation were performed. The second one was complicated by a hypertensive crisis due to catecholamine release. The tumour was resected via a widened transcochlear approach. Tumour residuewas treated by gamma knife radiosurgery, without additional growth at the last follow-up. This case illustrates the interest of multidisciplinary management of giant skull base paragangliomas
