 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 MRI and angiography in the diagnosis and preoperative embolization of the value of glomus jugulare tumor Of: Chen Lijian, when Zhong-Xian, Chen Guang, laid Biao, like Rui Su [Abstract] Objective To summarize the glomus jugulare tumor by magnetic resonance (MRI and angiography (DSA performance, enhance the understanding and diagnosis of tumors and to evaluate the role of preoperative embolization and value. Methods Retrospective analysis of 9 patients with pathologically confirmed glomus jugulare tumor patients before the MRI and DSA performance of the surgical resection line of 7 to 10 days before embolization. Results 7 cases of glomus jugulare tumor in the jugular foramen, and 2 cases in the attic, the largest tumor jugular bulb more than 5 cm in diameter and 6 cases of MRI signal can be seen in the “salt and pepper sign”, the signs are specific. DSA showed glomus jugulare tumor from the external carotid artery, the rich blood supply, tumor stain obvious. embolization After the tumor feeding artery is embolization, tumor stain disappeared or significantly lighter, less blood loss during surgery. Conclusions MRI can confirm the diagnosis of glomus jugulare tumors to determine the incidence and nature of the tumor site, DSA can be clear and the blood vessels feeding the tumor for the situation; preoperative embolization in reducing blood loss during resection and reduce operative risk has a positive effect. [Keywords:] glomus jugulare tumor, MRI, DSA, embolization Also known as glomus jugulare tumor glomus tumor of non-chromaffin paraganglioma is a rare benign tumor clinically. Its parts hidden deep in the, often with local symptoms similar to symptoms of other diseases, it is easy to misdiagnosis. This paper summarizes the 9 patients with pathologically confirmed glomus jugulare tumor, of the magnetic resonance (MR and angiography (DSA performance and the effect of embolization to increase awareness of the tumor.
