Glomus jugular and paralysis of the facial nerve

Hi, folks. My brother has been diagnosed with paralysis of the facial nerve. Doctors at first didn’t know what could cause this. Later they discovered glomus jugular tumor. This is all new to me, so I would appreciate if someone could give me some more info about this. I’d appreciate it.

Hi, there. Glomus jugular tumor is a small tumor located in the inner ear. It looks like little ball. It grows in the skull, on the places where nerves pass. Among other nerves, this tumor can damage facial nerve with its growth. This is probably what happened in your brother’s case. In this way, he had a paralysis of the facial nerve. You can consult a specialist for more details. I hope this will help as well. Good luck! Bye!
