Typical clinical presentations include pulsatile tinnitus or hoarseness associated with a neck mass. Surgery and radiation therapy remain the primary treatment modalities but come with significant morbidity including cranial nerve damage. We describe a unique case of VP in which cough was the only presenting symptom, that was exacerbated by enlargement of the tumour. Symptoms improved following radiation treatment.}, URL = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/14/7/e241913}, eprint = {https://casereports.bmj.com/content/14/7/e241913.full.pdf}, journal = {BMJ Case Reports CP} }
