Abstract: Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from paraganglion cells, commonly occurring in the head and neck region. Among these, jugular foramen paragangliomas are a rare subset that requires precise imaging for diagnosis and management. We present a case series of 4 histopathological confirmed cases of jugular foramen paragangliomas evaluated with cross - sectional imaging including CT and MRI. The study highlights characteristic imaging features, differential diagnosis, and the importance of radiological evaluation in pre - operative planning.
