“…It is a subset of tumors known as paragangliomas, which are tumors that arise from neural crest cells associated with autonomic ganglia. Due to the anatomical location of glomus jugulare within the jugular foramen, growth of this tumor typically involves CN VII, IX, X, XI, which are in the vicinity of the tumor [ 1 – 4 ].…”

Glomus jugulare is a rare slow growing tumor occurring within the jugular foramen that rarely presents with isolated symptoms. Although histologically benign, these tumors are locally destructive because of their proximity to the petrous bone, the lower cranial nerves, and the major vascular structures (Miller et al. (2009) and Silverstone (1973)). We wish to report a glomus jugulare tumor eroding the petrous bone and producing an ipsilateral peripheral facial weakness. The mechanism of this erosion is discussed.

“…Examination may reveal a middle-ear mass, the so called 'rising sun sign' (75 percent) [2]. Cranial nerve defi cits most commonly affect the vagus (16 percent) [1], glossopharyngeal (16 percent) [1], facial nerves (8 percent) and headache (15 percent). Glomus tumours are usually slow growing tumours and may have a long natural history.…”

Glomus tumours of temporal bone are rare and usually present with symptoms of hearing loss and tinnitus. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the slow growth of the tumour. Here we present a case report of a patient diagnosed as glomus tympanicum who presented only with unilateral progressive hearing loss for the past one year and rapidly detoriating hearing loss since two months who was managed successfully.

“…The majority of spinal accessory nerve lesions occur after lymph node biopsy and tumor resection in the posterior cervical triangle (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Other etiologies include blunt trauma, irradiation, penetrating injury, vascular ectasia, carotid endarterectomy, cardiac surgery, laceration, compression, strenuous weight lifting, whiplash, spontaneous palsy (idiopathic) due to plexitis, and other more rare occasions (3)(4)(5)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22).…”

Sum marySpinal accessory nerve palsy commonly occurs as a result of iatrogenic injury, usually during lymph node excision in the posterior cervical triangle. Numerous alternative etiologies are described. Trauma is the most common cause of non-iatrogenic palsy. Sometimes, the cause of the palsy cannot be identified. Here, we report four atypical cases of isolated spinal accessory nerve palsy leading to trapezius muscle dysfunction. In one patient, accessory nerve palsy developed after reduction mammaplasty and abdominoplasty surgery (Case 1). One of them experienced a stretch injury due to weight lifting (Case 2). In one patient, a clear reason could not be identified (Case 3). In a 12-year-old girl, accessory nerve palsy was caused by her heavy school bag (Case 4). All three segments of trapezius muscle were involved in all cases, except for the case 1 who had only the upper segment involvement. The patients were followed clinically and electrophysiologically for 24-30 months. Both cases 1 and 2 showed complete recovery within six months, whereas cases 3 and 4 showed incomplete recovery. The clinical similarities and differences, and also the neurophysiological findings of cases are discussed in this paper. Our long-term follow-up findings may help us to understand the mechanism and the natural course of the accessory nerve palsies. Turk J Phys Med Re hab 2011;57:248-52.
