Text
Appropriate preoperative diagnostic and interdisciplinary approaches have reduced the morbidity of therapy in head and neck paragangliomas. However, the management of head and neck Paraganglioma is and remains a challenge. The choice between surgery and radiotherapy should be made individually depending on the tumour characteristics (location and size), age of the patient and additional comorbidities. Also the choice of surgical approach and timing of the surgery should be made case by case individually.
We present a series of extra- and intracranial paragangliomas which have been managed by our interdisciplinary team at Charité.
