Objective

The objective of this paper is to make a retrospective analysis in patients with glomus tumours of temporal bone origin. We present the results according to the surgical approach applied in each case.

Materials and method

This retrospective study presents the findings in 17 patients with diagnosis of glomus jugulare of the temporal bone, who were observed and treated in our department over a 5-year period (1999 to 2004). We performed a general otolaryngology exam, systemic evaluation and radiological exam. Surgical treatment was performed in 16 cases out of 17. In 1 case treatment with stereotaxic surgery was performed.

Results

The surgical approaches were: retroauricular transcanal approach, radical or modified mastoidectomy through facial recess, and infratemporal fossa approach. Pre-operative embolization was used in 11 of our cases. In all cases the diagnosis of glomus tumour was confirmed. The most frequent post-operative complications found were: transitory paralysis of the facial nerve, sensorineural hearing loss, imbalance, paralysis of the IXth and XIth cranial nerves, and salivary fistula. No recurrences were found after 8 years of follow-up. One case of persistence was found in the case treated with radio surgery.

Conclusions

In our series surgery was found as the elective therapy for patients with glomus tumour of the temporal bone with no recurrences after 8 years of follow-up. Preoperative embolization diminishes surgery time and intraoperative bleeding. Stereotaxic therapy cannot provide tumour growth control. Complications are discussed and compared with the bibliography.

Objetivo

El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar un estudio retrospectivo en pacientes con diagnóstico de paraganglioma de localización en hueso temporal, analizando los resultados según la conducta terapéutica aplicada para cada caso.

Pacientes y método

Se incluyó a 17 pacientes con diagnóstico de paraganglioma localizado en hueso temporal tratados en nuestro servicio entre 1999 y 2004. A todos se les realizó un examen otorrinolaringológico, sistémico y de imagen. En 16 casos se realizó cirugía para su exéresis y en 1 caso se realizó tratamiento con cirugía estereotáxica.

Resultados

Los abordajes quirúrgicos fueron: resección transcanal (tras abordaje retroauricular), mastoidectomía radical y modificada con abordaje de receso facial y, por último, abordaje infratemporal. Se realizó embolización preoperatoria en 11 de los casos. El diagnóstico de glomus fue confirmado en todos los casos. Las complicaciones postoperatorias más frecuentes fueron: paresia transitoria del VII par, hipoacusia neurosensorial, desequilibrio, parálisis del VII, parálisis del IX y el XI par y fístula salival. No se observó recidiva de enfermedad con seguimiento entre 1 y 8 años. En un caso tratado con radiocirugía persiste el tumor, con control.

Conclusiones

En nuestra serie la cirugía constituye la terapia con la que se logró la resección tumoral total en todos los casos. El uso de embolización preoperatoria reduce el tiempo quirúrgico y el sangrado peroperatorio. La radiocirugía estereotáxica no permite el control tumoral, y persiste la enfermedad.
