Abstract
BACKGROUND: Glomus tumors are difficult to manage surgically because they are vascular tumors that are topographically associated with important vascular and neuronal structures. Hence, there is a strong risk of incomplete resection and a high morbidity rate. In addition, they grow slowly. Recent treatments have increasingly involved a combination of surgical resection and radiosurgery. We present our experience in treating glomus tumors of the skull base with stereotactic radiosurgery as an upfront therapy.
