 ==History and symptoms==
-Paragangliomas are described by their site of origin and are often given special names:
+Symptoms associated with paraganglioma are:
-* '''Carotid paraganglioma''' ([[carotid body]] tumor): Is the most common of the head and neck paragangliomas.  It usually presents as a painless neck mass, but larger tumors may cause cranial nerve palsies, usually of the [[vagus nerve]] and [[hypoglossal nerve]].
+*[[Dysphagia]]
+*[[Dizziness]]
-* '''Glomus tympanicum''' and '''Glomus jugulare''': Both commonly present as a middle ear mass resulting in [[tinnitus]] (in 80%) and hearing loss (in 60%).  The cranial nerves of the [[jugular foramen]] may be compressed, resulting swallowing difficulty.  These patients present with a reddish bulge behind an intact ear drum.  This condition is also known as the "Red drum".  On application of pressure to the external ear canal with the help of a pneumatic ear speculum the mass could be seen to blanch.  This sign is known as "Brown's sign".
-* '''Vagal paragangliomas''': These are the least common of the head and neck paragangliomas.  They usually present as a painless neck mass, but may result in [[dysphagia]] and hoarseness.
-* '''Other sites''': Rare sites of involvement are the [[larynx]], nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, [[thyroid]] gland, and the [[thoracic inlet]], as well as the bladder in extremely rare cases.
-*Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
-*Dizziness
 *Hearing problems or loss
 *Hearing pulsations in the ear
-*Hoarseness
+*[[Hoarseness]]
 *Pain
-*Weakness or loss of movement in the face (facial nerve palsy)
+*Weakness or loss of movement in the face ([[facial nerve palsy]])
