[Iatrogenic complications of paraganglioma of the jugular foramen].

Twenty-eight cases of tumours of the paraganglioma of the foramen jugulare arising from the jugular foramen were treated from 1982 to 1990. The follow-up and the iatrogenic effect of embolization, surgery and radiotherapy were studied. Routine pre-operative embolisation has changed the therapeutic approach to these tumours although a certain number of mainly neurological complications still occur (32% of the cases with 18% of major accidents) especially when the internal carotid component must be excluded.
