title: [Significance of emissary veins in surgical treatment of temporal paragangliomas].
abstract: With the surgical removal of temporal paraganglioma, possible changes of the cerebral blood pathways of the Circle of Willis should be considered. If the cerebral blood drains dominates unilaterally and the pathway of drainage over the Bulbus venae jugularis is inadequate due to vessel malformation or variations or by intraluminal tumor growth, as for instance of temporal paragangliomas, collateral emissary vessels can take over this function by an extraordinary large lumen extension. Ignorance of such a characteristic venous drainage can lead to hemorrhagic apoplexia when such originally redundant veins are sacrificed. A presurgical angiography is, therefore, indicated. In case of vessel malformations or variations the use of computer-assisted surgery could be helpful to preserve such native emissary veins at the bony skull base, such as the condylar emissary vein in the case of a transcondylar infralabyrinthine approach.
