“…These are highly vascular, generally slow-growing benign tumours that can remain asymptomatic and therefore undetected for years. Classically, patients with CBTs present with a non-tender, rubbery neck lump, with or without associated cranial nerve palsies due to local invasion or compressive symptoms with dysphonia, dysphagia and syncope 1. To our knowledge, this is the first case described in the literature of a patient with a CBT presenting with dysphonia alone.…”

“…During the operation of carotid paraganglioma, keeping dissection plane at the subadventitial layer of the carotid bifurcation has been emphasized ( Fig. 4B ) [ 10 ]. The other important point is early division of the feeding vessels to the tumor to reduce the amount of tumor bleeding.…”

Purpose Primary tumor at the carotid bifurcation is uncommon, which includes paraganglioma, schwannoma, and lymphoma. Due to their rarity, characteristics of these tumors and problems related to their surgical treatment have not been well known. We tried to elucidate different clinical characteristics and surgical complications of these tumors. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 21 patients with carotid bifurcation tumor from the Vascular Surgery division of a Korean tertiary institution from 1995 to 2018. We investigated patients’ demographics and clinical features, image characteristics, treatment details, and surgical outcomes. Results During the period from January 1995 to January 2018, we experienced surgical resections of 21 carotid bifurcation tumors which included 16 (76.2%) paragangliomas and 5 (23.8%) schwannomas. The most common clinical feature was a non-tender cervical mass. According to Shamblin classification, paragangliomas were classified into class II in 68.8% and class III in 25.0%. On the preoperative computed tomography images, all the paragangliomas showed characteristic splaying of the carotid bifurcation and hypervascularity of the tumors. On the contrary, all the schwannomas showed hypovascularity and splaying sign in 60%. Surgical complications related to cervical nerve injury developed in 50% and 60% of patients with Shamblin class III paraganglioma and schwannoma, respectively. During the mean follow-up period of 25 months (range, 1 to 163 months), distant metastases developed in 2 (12.5%) of paraganglioma patients. Conclusion Neurologic complications were more common after surgical resection of Shamblin class III paraganglioma and schwannoma. For patients with paraganglioma, postoperative periodic follow-up examination is advised to detect distant metastasis.
