39 patients were selected and analyzed retrospectively. Demographic informations, complaints at the time of admission, radiological examinations, paraganglioma types, stages, postoperative complications, and relapsed cases were recorded.Preoperative staging plays a crucial role in surgical planning and predicting potential intraoperative complications.
