[Surgical therapy of glomus jugulare tumors].

Abstract

A one-stage resection of large glomus jugulare tumours with intra- and extracranial extensions is described. The patient is placed in the sitting position. Monitoring minimizes the danger of air embolism. Modifications of technique are described which reduce the intraoperative blood loss to approximately 1,000 ml.
