Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your reports
You are having glomus jugulare tumor
These are rare, slow growing, hypervascular tumors that arise within the jugular foramen of the temporal bone and frequently involve the lower cranial nerves.
Prognosis is that tumor progression free survival is 95.5% at 5 and 7 years.
Stereotactic linear accelerator (LINAC) radiosurgery achieved excellent long term tumor control, along with a low rate of morbidity in such type of tumour.
