Scope note: Paraganglioma del glomo yugular, una colección microscópica de tejido quimiorreceptor en la adventicia del bulbo de la vena yugular. Puede causar parálisis de las cuerdas vocales, ataques de desvanecimiento, pérdidas de consciencia pasajera y nistagmo. No es resecable, pero la radioterapia es eficaz. Regresa lentamente, pero habitualmente se logra el control permanente.

Scope note: A paraganglioma involving the glomus jugulare, a microscopic collection of chemoreceptor tissue in the adventitia of the bulb of the jugular vein. It may cause paralysis of the vocal cords, attacks of dizziness, blackouts, and nystagmus. It is not resectable but radiation therapy is effective. It regresses slowly, but permanent control is regularly achieved. (From Dorland, 27th ed; Stedman, 25th ed; DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, pp1603-4)
