颈静脉球瘤是一种罕见的生长缓慢的血管病变，起源于颈静脉球内副神经节的主细胞。它们可以与舌咽神经（Jacobsen神经）的鼓室分支或迷走神经（Arnold神经）的耳分支相关，也被称为化学感受器瘤或非嗜铬性副神经节瘤。这些组织学良性肿瘤的最佳治疗方法仍存在争议。手术仍然是治疗的选择，但可以携带高发病率。外束放射最初用于次全切除术和较差的手术候选人;然而，放射外科最近已被引入作为这些肿瘤患者的有效和安全的治疗选择。在这篇文章中，作者讨论了颈静脉球瘤放射治疗的历史，重点是最近的放射外科结果。
Glomus jugulare tumors are rare, slow-growing vascular lesions that arise from the chief cells of the paraganglia within the jugular bulb. They can be associated with the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve (Jacobsen nerve) or the auricular branch of the vagus nerve (Arnold nerve) and are also referred to as chemodectomas or nonchromaffin paragangliomas. Optimal treatment of these histologically benign tumors remains controversial. Surgery remains the treatment of choice, but can carry high morbidity rates. External-beam radiation was originally used for subtotal resections and in patients who were poor surgical candidates; however, radiosurgery has recently been introduced as an effective and safe treatment option for patients with these tumors. In this article the authors discuss the history of radiation therapy for glomus jugulare tumors, focusing on recent radiosurgical results.
