    Abstract:
    A case report of a 15-year-old boy with a nasopharyngeal paraganglioma extended to middle cranial fossa is presented. We are reporting the fifteenth patient with a primary nasopharyngeal paraganglioma and reviewing the pertinent literature. The unusual initial presentation of oculomotor palsy and response to radiotherapy is described. The possible origin and radiosensitivity of this tumor discussed. Although the choice of therapy for this tumor remain controversial, the preferred treatment has been radiotherapy, in conjunction with surgical procedures for the mass of middle cranial fossa.
