Abstract
The management of vagal paragangliomas is extremely challenging. Treatment of these lesions must be tailored individually for each patient. The best t reatment modality depends on the patient's age and health and the size and extent of the tumor. This article discusses clinical presentation, multicen tric and malignant vagal paragangliomas, evaluation, embolization, surgical management, and special considerations in the management of vagal paragang liomas.
