Paraganglioma With Intracranial Invasion Demonstrated on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT
68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT demonstrates superior sensitivity compared with other cross-sectional and functional imaging techniques in detecting head and neck paragangliomas. It is the primary recommended imaging modality for the evaluation of head and neck paragangliomas, especially in patients suspected of having locally aggressive, multifocal, or metastatic disease, as well as those being considered for targeted peptide-receptor therapy. Herein, we demonstrate the 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT findings of a skull base paraganglioma with extensive local invasion and intracranial extension.
