A case report on surgical management of glomus tympanicum and literature review.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Introduction: Glomus tympanicum is a benign tumor classified under the group glomus tumors, and is also known as paragangliomas.
Case Presentation: A 52 years old woman presented with unilateral pulsatile tinnitus and hearing loss. She had a visible reddish mass behind the eardrum; Temporal bone CT scans suggested middle ear mass secondary to Glomus Tympanicum tumors.
Improved visualization of the inferior tympanic and mastoid canaliculi with photon counting detector CT.

Purpose: To compare the performance of the photon-counting detector (PCD)-CT versus a state-of-the-art energy-integrating detector (EID)-CT to identify segments of the inferior tympanic canaliculus (Jacobsons nerve) and the mastoid canaliculus (Arnolds nerve).
Materials & Methods: Patients were prospectively recruited to undergo temporal bone CT on both EID-CT (Siemens Somatom Force) and PCD-CT (Siemens NAEOTOM Alpha) scanners under an IRB-approved protocol. Three neuroradiologists reviewed cases by consensus comparing the ability to identify the proximal, mid, and distal segments of the inferior tympanic canaliculus/Jacobsons nerve and mastoid canaliculus/Arnolds nerve on each scanner using 5-point Likert scales (with 1 indicating EID is far superior to PCD, 3 indicating they are equivalent, and 5 indicating PCD is far superior to EID).

Article Synopsis
- A carotid body tumor, or paraganglioma, is a rare tumor that usually occurs in the neck and is mostly benign, accounting for only 0.5% of all tumors.
- A case study of a 22-year-old male revealed symptoms like swelling in the neck, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by ultrasound and MRI.
- The primary treatment for carotid body tumors is surgical removal, and the patient's surgery was guided by the Shamblin classification to assess the tumor's resectability and reduce vascular complications.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to improve how doctors perform surgery on patients with a specific illness by preparing better and following the right steps to avoid problems later on.
- Researchers looked closely at two patient cases to learn how to successfully remove tumor-like masses while reducing the chance of the illness coming back.
- The study shows detailed steps of the successful surgery done on one patient and explains the importance of these findings for other doctors dealing with similar cases.
Facial nerve palsy after ethylene vinyl alcohol arterial embolization of glomus tympanicum.

Background & Objective: Glomus tympanicum and jugulare tumors are highly vascular and are therefore commonly embolized before surgical resection to prevent intra-operative bleeding. We report a case of facial nerve paralysis after pre-operative embolization for a glomus tympanicum tumor with ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH also known as Onyx) embolic agent. We discuss the choice of embolic agent in relation to the risk of this complication and potential management strategies.
