Abstract EN
Glomus jugulare is a rare slow growing tumor occurring within the jugular foramen that rarely presents with isolated symptoms.
Although histologically benign, these tumors are locally destructive because of their proximity to the petrous bone, the lower cranial nerves, and the major vascular structures (Miller et al.
(2009) and Silverstone (1973)).
We wish to report a glomus jugulare tumor eroding the petrous bone and producing an ipsilateral peripheral facial weakness.
The mechanism of this erosion is discussed.
