Surgical treatment of carotid body paragangliomas is a challenge to the surgeon because of the large vascularization of the tumor, involvement of the carotid vessels and the close anatomical relationship with the cranial nerves.
A 63-year-old patient was submitted to resection of two carotid body paraganglioma tumors found in the right-side and left-side carotid bodies at the bifurcation of the common carotid arteries. Two surgeries were performed at different times and neither of them presented any morbidity. Arteriography was fundamental for diagnosis of the small, asymptomatic tumor on the right side.
Case Report
由于颈动脉体副神经节瘤血管丰富、累及颈动脉血管且与颅神经解剖关系密切,其外科治疗对外科医生而言是一项挑战。
一名63岁患者接受了位于双侧颈总动脉分叉处右侧和左侧颈动脉体的两个颈动脉体副神经节瘤切除术。分两次在不同时间进行手术,均未出现任何并发症。动脉造影对于诊断右侧无症状小肿瘤至关重要。
