## Abstract ## Background We evaluated toxicity and longβterm efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with symptomatic or progressive glomus jugulare tumors. ## Methods Twentyβfive consecutive patients (age, 30β88 years; 17 women, 8 men) who underwent stereotactic radiosurgery with the
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The optimal treatment for patients with glomus jugulare tumor (GJT) of the skull base remains controversial. Surgical excision is associated with a high incidence of cranial nerve injury, decreased quality of life, and high mortality. Fractionated radiotherapy is used to
## Abstract ## Background Functional glomus jugulare tumors (GJTs) are commonly managed with resection. Although primary radiation therapy of functional GJT can provide durable control of tumor growth, little is known of its ability to ablate functional capacity. ## Methods and Results We descri
