Long-term follow-up of an infratentorial primary paraganglioma: a case report

Br J Neurosurg. 2007 Oct;21(5):531-5. doi: 10.1080/02688690701432448.

Abstract

We report a case of infratentorial primary paraganglioma for which we have a 10-year incomplete pretreatment clinical and radiological follow-up. Partial surgical removal followed by external radiotherapy resulted in stable disease at 6 years follow-up. We compare our patient's case with similar cases reported in the literature.
