Abstract :

 Radiosurgery has emerged as a treatment option that incorporates the benefits of radiation therapy while minimizing the adverse side effects. Radiosurgery is equally effective as surgery for tumor control and possesses lower morbidity and mortality rates. The mechanism by which radiosurgery is effective against glomusjugularetumors remains unresolved, as these tumors are radioresistant, and radiation probably attacks the highly developed vasculature of the tumors.

We present our series of 14 cases of GlomusJugulare, treated with GKS over the last 09 years and will present the multimodality treatment algorithms followed in our center for these complex tumors& would review various treatment modalities currently available.
