title: Nonparaganglioma jugular foramen tumors.
abstract: This article discusses the epidemiology, presentation, and diagnostic work-up of nonparaganglioma jugular foramen tumors, and the management options and predicted outcomes. Paragangliomas are the most common jugular foramen tumors, but other nonparagangliomas are important to consider in a differential for jugular foramen tumors. This article specifically focuses on jugular foramen schwannomas, meningiomas, metastatic disease, and regional pathologies that may extend to the jugular foramen, such as endolymphatic sac tumors, chordomas, and chondrosarcomas. Operative approaches to these tumors are also reviewed.
