“…As the tumour grows, dysphagia, odynophagia, dysphonia, and symptoms due to compression of cranial nerves 9 to 12 may be seen [9][10][11] . The most commonly involved cranial nerve is the vagus, up to one third of all cases will show cranial nerve palsies.…”

“…They are located anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle at the level of the hyoid bone, and they cause regional pain. Symptoms of dysphagia, odynophagia, and dysphonia, as well as the compression of the 9 th and 12 th cranial nerves, may be seen as the tumor grows [4,5]. Ultrasonography, technetium isotope scintigraphy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, angiography, and conventional angiography (as needed) are among the diagnostic methods that are used with these tumors.…”

Carotid body tumors arise from the embryonic neural crest. These tumors are mostly benign, and they rarely show character. Bifurcation of the carotid body cells originates from a common carotid paraganglion; a tumoral mass lateral to the carotid bifurcation is usually found in the neck. A pathologic feature of these tumors is that they have a tendency to wrap because they are not treated with the external and internal carotid arteries. In our clinic, we operated on a patient who had been diagnosed with carotid body tumor. After removal of the internal carotid artery, the mass flow due to a decrease in the light of literature used to evaluate the importance of flowmetry carotid surgery. Key Words: Carotid artery, Carotid body tumor, Flowmetry ÖzetKarotid body tümörleri embriyolojik nöral krestten kaynaklanan ve çoğunlukla benign karakter gösteren nadir tümörlerdir. Karotid bifurkasyondaki karotid cismin paraganglionik hücrelerinden kaynaklanırlar; tümoral kitle olarak genellikle boyun lateralinde ve karotid bifurkasyonda bulunurlar. Patolojik lokalizasyonun özelliği nedeni ile tedavi edilmediklerinde bu tümörler eksternal ve internalkarotid arterleri sarma eğilimi gösterirler. Kliniğimizde karotid body tm tanısıyla opere ettiğimiz hastamızda, operasyon esnasında kitlenin çıkarıldıktan sonra internalkarotis arterdeki akımın azalmasına bağlı kullandığımız flowmetrenin karotistomi cerrahisindeki önemini literatürler ışığında değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Glomus tumors known as paragangliomas are neoplasms arising from the neural crest. They are named according to the place they originate from. Tumors originating from the carotid body at the carotid bifurcation are called Carotid Body Tumors (CBT). Surgical intervention is planned according to the Shamblin classification. 17 patients were operated after being diagnosed with CBT in our clinic between February 2007 and June 2010. 12 (70.5%) of the patients were male, and 5 (29.4%) of the patients were female. The average age was 42 (ages ranging between 32 and 47). Nine of the patients were diagnosed and treated with Shamblin type I tumor, seven of the patients with type II and one patient with type III. Only one patient had bilateral carotid tumor. In all patients with Shamblin type I and II, blunt dissection of the tumor was conducted smoothly by means of thermal cautery in the subadventitial plane. The patient with Shamblin type III had tumor invasion in the carotid artery and adjacent tissues were in an adherent state. Therefore mass resection was carried out by resecting 2 cm of the distal portion of the common carotid artery and 3 cm of the proximal portion of the internal carotid artery. 6 mm of synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene graft was interpositioned between the common carotid artery and the internal carotid artery. External carotid artery was anastomosed to this graft in an end-to-end fashion. The patient developed vocal cord paralysis postoperatively on the lesion side. The patient who underwent bilateral tumor excision developed Baroreflex Failure Syndrome. In the two patients thrombus developed in the internal carotid artery in the early postoperative period. These patients underwent thrombectomy and developed hemiplegia on the lesion side. One of them died on the seventh post-operative day while in follow-up in the intensive care unit. Surgical resection is the recommended treatment for carotid body tumors. Shamblin I and II type tumors' dimensions and pathological characteristics allow dissection. However Shamblin III tumors may require carotid artery resection and reconstruction due to tissue invasion. The possibility of post-operative cranial nerve paralysis and arterial thrombosis should be taken into account.

Outcome of surgical treatment for carotid body paraganglioma

Abstract: Surgical planning and prediction of perioperative complications can be obtained by staging derived from MRA and CDI. Severe complications occur predominantly in type III CBPs.
