A carotid glomus is, classically, a firm, non-pulsatile tumor situated just behind the carotid bifurcation. Erreurs are possible: -- the tumor may be pulsatile, -- the site impossible to define if the tumor is large. Carotid arteriography is essential, in the case of a glomus tumor showing widening of the carotid bifurcation. Treatment is surgical, with possible ablation or reconstruction of the carotid axis. Such surgery must be performed in a specialized centre.
传统上，颈动脉体瘤是一种质地坚硬、无搏动的肿瘤，位于颈动脉分叉后方。可能存在误诊：——肿瘤可能有搏动，——如果肿瘤较大，则难以确定其位置。对于显示颈动脉分叉增宽的颈动脉体瘤，颈动脉血管造影是必不可少的。治疗方法是手术，可能需要切除或重建颈动脉轴。这种手术必须在专业中心进行。
