“…1 Since most tumors present with ear symptoms, early literature was dominated by otolaryngologists, with the first reports of neurosurgical exploration for jugular tumors arising in 1951, 5 6 and a further report of a glomic tumor arising from the jugular foramen successfully resected through a suboccipital approach in the same year. 7 The description of the craniocervical approach as such may be attributed to Shapiro and Neues in 1864 8 and Gejrot in 1965. 9 They described the cervical resection, radical mastoidectomy and transposition of the facial nerve, but they did not dare entering the posterior fossa, leaving intracranial tumors for radiation therapy.…”

Context Tumors of the jugular foramen present a challenge to skull base surgeons. Their rarity, coupled with the complex anatomy of the region require exquisite knowledge and surgical technique. We present the history of the craniocervical approach to the jugular foramen, as well as surgical advice on how to manage the different extensions these tumors may present. The surgical nuances come from the experience of our skull base team managing over 150 tumors of the jugular foramen over the past 30 years. The history of the craniocervical approach was obtained by reviewing articles on surgery of the jugular foramen published on PUBMED over the past 100 years. History The first craniocervical approach may be attributed to Gardner et al. in 1891, with posterior contributions from Shapiro and Neues, Gejrot, Kempe et al, Hilding and Greenberg, and Glasscock. Nuances Cervical dissection with identification of the jugular vein, carotid bifurcation, and IX to XII cranial nerves was performed. Mastoidectomy with exposition of the fallopian canal, labyrinth, middle ear, sigmoid sinus, followed by a trans-sigmoid craniotomy with transposition of the vertebral artery gave access to the temporal and intracranial region. Conclusion Approaching the jugular foramen is the epitome of skull base surgery. Several modifications of the standard approach may be necessary depending on the extension of the tumor.

“…Several neurosurgeons have recorded their experiences of single cases (Poppen and Riemenschneider, 1951;Dockerty, Love, and Patton, 1951 ;Alexander, Beamer, and Williams, 1951), but these are the only reports from neurological sources. Bartels (1949) gives an exhaustive account of his 11 patients who showed the various patterns of cranial nerve palsies described below.…”
