Retrograde Jugularography in Diagnosis of Glomus Tumours in the Jugular Region

Abstract
In 1941 Guild reported the normal occurrence of some formerly unknown growths in the region of the temporal bone in man. They were of the size of rice grains and situated chiefly around the superior bulb of the internal jugular vein and along the tympanic branches of the IXth and Xth cranial nerves. Guild proposed the term glomus jugulare for such a growth.
