RESUMEN
Introducción. Los paragangliomas de nervio vago son tumores derivados de células de la cresta neural de muy baja incidencia, normalmente benignos y de crecimiento lento. Caso clínico. Mujer de 74 años con masa laterocervical dolorosa, de crecimiento rápido en el último mes con afectación múltiple de pares craneales y de cadena simpáticocervical. Se realizan exploraciones complementarias, tomografía axial computarizada y arteriografía, y se diagnostica paraganglioma cervical. Previamente a la cirugía, se embolizan las ramas de la arteria carótida externa que nutren el tumor y posteriormente se extirpa el tumor, que tiene su origen en el nervio vago, se reseca éste, así como la arteria carótida externa y la vena yugular interna. La anatomía patológica se informa como paraganglioma de nervio vago. No se sobreañaden lesiones neurológicas después de la cirugía. Conclusión. El paraganglioma de nervio vago es el tumor de esta estirpe que presenta mayor afectación neurológica postoperatoria, y esto también depende del tamaño del tumor. La embolización preoperatoria puede ser beneficiosa, pues reduce la vascularización de la masa y, por tanto, el sangrado operatorio. En ocasiones puede llegar a ser necesaria la realización de reconstrucción arterial
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION. Paragangliomas of the vagal nerve are tumours derived from cells in the neural crest that are normally benign, and have low incidence and slow growth rates. CASE REPORT. We report the case of a 74-year-old female with a painful laterocervical mass which grew quickly over the last month with multiple involvement of cranial nerves and the cervical sympathetic chain. Complementary explorations were conducted including computerised axial tomography scans and arteriography, and a cervical paraganglioma was diagnosed. Prior to surgery, the branches of the external carotid artery that nourish the tumour were embolised and the tumour, which has its origins in the vagal nerve, was later removed. This nerve is then resected, as is the external carotid artery and the internal jugular vein. Clinical pathology reported the case as one of vagal nerve paraganglioma. No further neurological lesions occurred after the intervention. CONCLUSION. Of this kind of strain of tumours vagal nerve paraganglioma is the one that has the greatest post-operative neurological involvement, and this also depends on the size of the tumour. Pre-operative embolisation can have beneficial effects as it reduces the vascularisation of the mass and therefore bleeding during surgery. It sometimes becomes necessary to carry out arterial reconstruction
