Abstract

Glomus tumours of the skull base are rare, and most frequently present with symptoms of hearing loss and tinnitus. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the slow growth of the tumour. We describe the previously unreported occurrence of a glomus tumour presenting with a unilateral accessory nerve palsy.
