Glomus Tympaniucm-MRI &CT

Glomus tympanicum tumors are chemodectomas that arise from the glomus bodies that run with the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve. They are are the most common primary neoplasms of the middle ear located along the jacobson nerve. Our case shows a small glomus tympanicum in the hypotympanum.
