Abstract
In 2018, a 59-year-old female patient presented with hoarseness in her voice, headache, intermittent pain in her right side, difficulty of right arm movement, left side neck pain, difficulty controlling hypertension of unknown etiology, and a large mass on the upper left side of her neck with a smaller mass on the right side. MRI of the neck revealed masses at each carotid bifurcation. These were determined to be bilateral paragangliomas. Paragangliomas are rare tumors, and bilateral ones tremendously so. The patient underwent radiation over 2 years, resulting in the successful shrinking and stabilization of both masses. Since completing radiation, the patient reported improvement in her memory, and her blood pressure has stabilized with medication.
