Popis: Significance Statement Head and neck paragangliomas are uncommon pathologies that present with common symptoms such as pulsatile tinnitus and aural pressure. This article highlights an unusual presentation of a patient with facial paresis who was found to have a jugular paraganglioma. Emphasis is placed on how the otologic examination showed a pulsatile middle ear mass that led to the diagnosis. This case illustrates the importance of maintaining a healthy degree of clinical suspicion when encountering common complaints.
