[Jugular and tympanic glomus tumors with intracranial growth].
The authors studied 9 patients with an intracranial growth of a glome tumour. Clinically it was characterized by tumorous symptoms of the middle ear or of the jugular fossa. These signs were accompanied by a cerebral hypertensive syndrome and by symptoms related to the influence of the tumour on the brain stem, cerebellum and III--IV cranial nerves. Radiotherapy was performed in 7 cases and combined therapy in 2 cases. Clinical remission in 2 patients following radiotherapy was seen during II and 3 years. After combined therapy 2 patients (during 9 and 1 year) did not demonstrate any clinical signs of tumour growth. Three patients died due to persistent growth. The fate of 2 patients is unknown.
