Overview

Natural History

Complications

The most common complications are due to nerve damage, which may be caused by the tumor itself or damage during surgery. Nerve damage can lead to:

  • Change in voice
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Hearing loss
  • Paralysis of the face

Prognosis

Patients who have surgery or radiation tend to do well. More than 90% of those with paraganglioma are cured.
