Primary paragangliomas of the paranasal sinuses are very rare conditions with only few cases described in the literature. Paragangliomas are locally aggressive, often recur and can metastasize. Usually, open surgery is used to resect such tumors from the sinonasal tract. Here, a case of a large paraganglioma of the left maxillary sinus and nasal cavity, which was successfully removed using the Onyx® embolic agent two days prior to minimally invasive image guided endoscopic sinus surgery, is reported. This case demonstrates that large vascular tumors of the sinonasal tract can be successfully managed by endoscopic endonasal sinus surgery. The patient has no evidence of recurrence after 12 months of follow-up.
