The occurrence of a @entity1653 within the jugular foramen is very rare. We present the case of a 33-year-old @entity1 who presented with five-year history of hoarseness and was found to have @entity912 of lower four cranial nerves on the left. High resolution computed tomography showed a dumbbell shaped @entity5 of the left jugular foramen extending intracranially over the jugular tubercle and extracranially into the parapharyngeal space. The @entity1 underwent staged neuro-otological surgery and the mass was removed subtotally with no recurrence in six years. Histopathologic diagnosis was @entity1653 . Our review of the literature revealed 33 previously reported cases. Four of these cases had @entity4786 . All but one underwent some form of otolaryngologic surgery. Although twenty had an intracranial component to their @entity5 , only 11 had a craniotomy. The majority of the @entity5 were @entity1653 (60%). Only two cases were @entity5 . We reviewed the clinical and radiological characteristics and summarized the benefits and pitfalls of existing surgical options.
