Article Abstract
Rationale: Clinically, jugular foramen (JF) dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is rare, and treatment is even more difficult.
Patient Concerns: A 67-year-old woman with progressive left eye distension and visual acuity decline.
Diagnoses: A digital subtraction angiography examination revealed a JFDAVF, which showed the feeding artery is ascending pharyngeal artery, with retrograde flow through the inferior petrosal sinus into the ophthalmic vein.
Interventions: An endovascular interventional therapy method was chosen, Marathon microcatheter in synchro-10 Microguide wire auxiliary super selected to ascending pharyngeal artery, about 0.3 mL of 13% concentration GLUBRAN was injected with a Marathon microcatheter, post-embolization angiography confirmed obliteration of the fistula site.
Outcomes: Aspiration when drinking and hoarseness after endovascular embolization, after 3 days, the eye symptoms completely disappeared. after 3 months, no aspiration observed while drinking and normal articulation. the patient recovered well post-embolization.
Lessons: Therefore, endovascular treatment is an appropriate choice for JFDAVF, but, arterial approach is very easy to develop neurological dysfunction.

Introduction: Cochlear implantation (CI) may be used as a viable method for restoring hearing in patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) caused by jugular foramen tumors.
Materials And Methods: 42-year-old female presenting with sudden-onset SNHL, pulsatile tinnitus, and otalgia, with a PTA of 119 dB and AzBio sentence score of 0% in quiet. Brain MRI identified a 22 mm tumor within the left jugular foramen and hypoglossal canal involving the cochlear aqueduct.

Background: In dural arteriovenous fistulas, bridging veins are connecting vessels that drain venous blood from the surface of the brain to the surrounding dural sinus. It is rare for the fistulous point and the bridging vein to be at different levels.
Observations: A 71-year-old man presented with progressive spinal symptoms of 8 months' duration.

Stereotactic radiation therapy, including stereotactic radiosurgery, is a well-established and effective treatment for cerebellopontine angle tumors such as meningiomas, vestibular schwannomas, trigeminal and jugular foramen schwannomas, and glomus tumors. It offers high rates of tumor control while preserving neurological function, particularly in tumors smaller than 3 cm, which are ideal candidates for stereotactic radiosurgery. Large tumors or those extending beyond the skull base can also be managed effectively using fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy.

Jugular foramen schwannoma is a rare intracranial tumor, with few opportunities for surgeons to perform tumor excision. This study aimed to provide an outline of jugular foramen schwannoma and our surgical strategy for this tumor. The surgical approach depends on tumor growth patterns with or without extracranial extension.

MRI is the most effective imaging tool for diagnosing cerebellopontine angle tumors, although CT is also useful for evaluating bone changes and detecting calcification. Regarding MRI, it is recommended to efficiently use MR cisternography, a small imaging field of view, and a thin slice thickness. The most common tumor type is acoustic schwannoma, followed by meningioma, trigeminal, facial nerve, jugular foramen schwannoma, paraganglioma, and others.
