Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (FSRT) have been used for the treatment of head and neck or skull base paraganglioma for a considerable time, demonstrating promising local control rates and a favorable safety profile compared with surgical approaches. Nevertheless, the choice of treatment must be carefully tailored to each patient's preferences, tumor location, and size, as well as anticipated treatment-related morbidity. This case-based review serves as a practical and concise guide for the use of SRS and FSRT in the management of head and neck or skull base paragangliomas, providing information on the diagnosis, treatment, follow-up considerations, and potential pitfalls.
