Abstract
We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with a tympanic paraganglioma, revealed by left-sided pulsatile tinnitus, progressive conductive hearing loss, and intermittent vertigo. Otoscopic examination showed a reddish retrotympanic mass. Imaging studies, particularly computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), suggested a tympanic paraganglioma. The patient underwent surgical excision with a favorable outcome. This case highlights the importance of imaging in the diagnosis and staging of glomus tumors of the middle ear.
