[Familial paragangliomas of the neck: integrated imaging and the planning of family screening].

The authors have studied a case of familial paraganglioma of the neck with integrated diagnostic methods: sonography (US) and MR imaging. They verified, through personal experience and literature review, the utility of familial diagnostic screening and of clinico-diagnostic screening planning. The main aim was to detect the elements which could help plan the screening, thus improving the early diagnosis of paragangliomas.
