Carotid paraganglioma are tumors arising from chemoreceptor paraganglioma cells. These cells have proved to have an embryologic origin from the neural crests. Due to their low incidence these tumors are not an habitually found in daily practices. We present a case of carotid body paraganglioma diagnosed by clinical exploration, CT scan, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography which was successfully treated by surgery. The diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties present in these tumors are discussed.
颈动脉体瘤是起源于化学感受器副神经节细胞的肿瘤。这些细胞已被证明起源于神经嵴。由于其发病率低，这些肿瘤在日常实践中并不常见。我们报告一例经临床检查、CT扫描、磁共振成像和磁共振血管造影诊断的颈动脉体瘤，该病例通过手术成功治疗。文中讨论了这些肿瘤存在的诊断和治疗难点。
