Jugulotympanic paraganglioma, preoperative embolization, and transmastoid retrolabyrinthine approach: Two-dimensional operative video

Jugulotympanic paraganglioma (JTP), also known as glomus jugulare tumor, is a neuroendocrine neoplasm. Although it represents <0.5% of head-and-neck tumors, it demonstrates significant local aggressiveness due to its tendency to infiltrate bone, vascular structures, and cranial nerves. Due to the hypervascular nature of these tumors, preoperative embolization has become an important surgical adjunct....
