OBJECTIVE: We report the presentation and management of an 18-year-old male, who presented with bilateral carotid body paragangliomas and a unilateral jugular body paraganglioma. METHOD: A comprehensive review of the medical literature concerning paragangliomas in the pediatric and adult population is discussed. RESULTS: Presentations of multiple paragangliomas in an 18-year-old have never been described. CONCLUSION: This is the first case of multiple paragangliomas in a 18-year-old male, who was treated with embolisation and surgical resection and remains disease free 2 years from surgery.
