ABSTRACT

Carotid body tumors are nonchromaffin paragangliomas that arise near carotid bifurcation, derived from embryonic neural crest within the gloms cells. The estimated incidence of CBT being 1/1000000 to 7.5/1000000. The only proven cure being complete surgical removal. In this case series, we present our experience of carotid body tumor effects on cerebral protection and hemodynamic fluctuations.

Keywords: Carotid Body Tumor, Paragangliomas, Cerebral Protection, Hemodynamic Fluctuation.
