Carotid Body tumour is an uncommon non-chromaffin paraganglioma arising from chemoreceptor cells at the external and internal carotid artery bifurcation. The reported incidence is 1-2 cases per 1,00,000 population. Surgical excision is extremely difficult and possess challenges to both surgeon and the anaesthetist. We report here a case of CBT excision with the use of cerebral oximetry to reduce the chances of intra-operative cerebral ischemia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
