abstract = "Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that result from the abnormal migration of neural crest progenitor cells, or paraganglia, during embryonic development. Paraganglia in the head and neck migrate along a branchial mesoderm; therefore, head and neck paragangliomas may occur
anywhere along the branchiomeric distribution. Head and neck paragangliomas demonstrate a number of characteristic features, such as common anatomic locations, symptomatology, associated genetic mutations, and appearance on multimodal imaging. Understanding these important attributes can allow
for a prompt and accurate diagnosis. This article provides a pictorial review of the common imaging features of head and neck paragangliomas.Learning Objective: Describe the multimodal imaging appearance of head and neck paragangliomas and their common anatomic locations.",
