RESUMEN

Objetivos:

Revisar los hallazgos de imagen de los paragangliomas. Determinar la utilidad de la embolización preoperatoria. Material y

método:

De enero de 1994 a diciembre de 2004, en nuestro hospital se diagnosticó a 30 pacientes de 33 paragangliomas de cabeza y cuello. Fueron estudiados mediante ultrasonografía, tomografía computarizada, resonancia magnética y arteriografía.

Resultados:

Distribución según localización 16 carotídeos (incluidos 1 caso de bilateralidad y 2 de presentación multicéntrica), 14 en el hueso temporal y 3 vagales. La embolización se realizó en 22 casos. Fue paliativa en 2 y adyuvante a la cirugía (18) o a la cirugía y radioterapia (2), y consiguió la reducción del número de complicaciones quirúrgicas. Se operó a 8 pacientes y 3 rechazaron cualquier tratamiento.

Conclusiones:

Los estudios de imagen son esenciales en el diagnóstico diferencial de las masas de cabeza y cuello. La embolización preoperatoria es el mayor avance en el manejo quirúrgico de los paragangliomas porque disminuye las potenciales hemorragias intraoperatorias
ABSTRACT

Objectives:

To review imaging features of paragangliomas. To determine the usefulness of pre-operative embolization. Material and

method:

From January 1994 to December 2004, 30 patients at our institution were found to have 33 paragangliomas of the head and neck. They were evaluated with US, CT, MRI, and angiography.

Results:

Location distribution was 16 carotid (1 case of bilateral and 2 of multi-centric presentation are reported), 14 in temporal bone, and 3 vagal. Embolization was performed in 22 cases. It was palliative in 2 cases and adjuvant to surgery (18) or to surgery and radiation therapy (2), resulting in a reduction of surgical complications. Eight patients were operated on and 3 rejected any treatment.

Conclusions:

Imaging studies are essential in the differential diagnosis of head and neck masses. Pre-operative embolization is a major advance in the surgical management of paragangliomas because it decreases potential intra-operative bleeding
