They have a vague clinical presentation therefore difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We hope that this case report and literature review would add to the existing literature and help devise a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic plan for vagal paragangliomas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a case of vagal paraganglioma occurring in a 13-year-old male which is an extremely rare presentation in this age group. The patient presented with a large solitary painless progressively growing mass in posterior triangle of neck. External jugular vein was stretched and trachea was deviated medially. The mass was arising via a twig from vagus nerve and was surgically excised. Diagnosis was established post-operatively through histopathological analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Vagal paraganglioma is a rare occurrence in male teenagers and may mimic schwannoma, neuroma, jugular meningioma, or other gangliomas. Surgical excision is mainstay of treatment but resultant vagal complications and neurological consequences are usually unavoidable. Nonetheless, the prognosis may be easily improved with sound surgical judgement, skill, and routine follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Vagal paraganglioma usually presents as a swelling in neck and cannot be diagnosed on simple clinical examination. CT scan and MRI are imaging modalities of choice and can be coupled with angiography to increase diagnostic accuracy. Although both radiation therapy and surgical excision have both been found to be successful treatment options, it is still unclear which is more beneficial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2023.108362","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,27]],"date-time":"2023-05-27T02:01:25Z","timestamp":1685152885000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rare presentation of vagal paraganglioma in an early age"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"107","author":[{"given":"Asma","family":"Fatima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raghavendra G.","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaik Zahid","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syed Faqeer Hussain","family":"Bokhari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syed Abul Qasim Hussain","family":"Abedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"de Souza J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-62-20260318","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.1993.103.s60.17","article-title":"Neurotologic skull base surgery for glomus tumors.
