In summary, MR imaging characteristics of a case of paraganglioma of the facial nerve are reported. The relationship of paragangliomas and the chromaffin system have been discussed. There are many reports of cases of synchronous paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas. These reports, along with simultaneous involvement in familial MEN syndromes, and the common embrylogic origin (neural crest) and similar histopathologic relationships between paragangliomas and pheochromocytoma, all support the fact that they are part of the chromaffin system.
总之，报道了1例面神经副神经节瘤的磁共振成像特征。讨论了副神经节瘤与嗜铬系统的关系。有许多关于同步性副神经节瘤和嗜铬细胞瘤病例的报道。这些报道，连同家族性多发性内分泌腺瘤综合征中的同时累及情况，以及副神经节瘤和嗜铬细胞瘤之间共同的胚胎学起源（神经嵴）和相似的组织病理学关系，均支持它们是嗜铬系统一部分这一事实。
