Paragangliomas of the spine: a retrospective case series in a national reference French center
ConclusionWe consider surgery as primary treatment in all PG. In our experience, preoperative diagnosis is difficult and caution must be taken to perioperative course in these cases. We do not routinely perform postoperative radiation if there is a residual tumor. We regularly perform clinical and radiological follow-up, so as to be able to document recurrent cases, which have been reported even up to 30 years after primary surgical excision.
