Core Tip	Jugular paragangliomas are rare skull base tumors that typically present with pulsatile tinnitus and lower cranial nerve palsies. This case highlights an atypical presentation marked by non-pulsatile tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, and isolated facial nerve involvement, leading to delayed diagnosis and intracranial extension. The report emphasizes the limitations of symptom-based diagnosis and underscores the critical role of early contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in patients with unilateral, progressive otologic symptoms to enable timely diagnosis and improved clinical outcomes.
