Abstract Jugular paraganglioma is a rare, highly vascular tumor arising from paraganglionic cells located in the region of the jugular foramen. It commonly presents with nonspecific symptoms such as hearing loss, pulsatile tinnitus, or lower cranial nerve deficits, making imaging essential for accurate diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play complementary roles in evaluating the extent, vascularity, and bony involvement of these lesions.

A case of a patient presenting with [ADD SYMPTOMS] is described. CT demonstrated a permeative destructive lesion involving the jugular foramen with characteristic moth-eaten appearance of adjacent bone. MRI revealed a well-defined lesion showing multiple flow voids, producing the classic “salt and pepper” appearance on T2-weighted images, with intense post-contrast enhancement. These imaging findings were consistent with jugular paraganglioma.

Recognition of characteristic imaging features on CT and MRI allows accurate diagnosis and helps guide appropriate management strategies, avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.
