title: Glomus jugulare tumours seen in Oxford 1960-1984.
abstract: A review of 14 cases of glomus jugulare tumour is presented. Patients with a long delay in diagnosis and those with cranial nerve palsies were found to have a poor prognosis. A dose response effect for local control was not observed with the radiation doses used. Three times weekly fractionation was well tolerated by adjacent normal tissues.
