Abstract
Glomus tumors are rare but locally aggressive, vascular paragangliomas of the skull base. These tumors may progress to cause lower cranial nerve palsies and may involve the major vascular structure in the skull base. We are reporting one of these cases and the anaesthetic challenges involved in the management of this case.
