Karotis Cisimcigi Paragangliomalarinda Cerrahi Deneyimimiz ve Literatur Derlemesi

Abstract

ÖZETResults: Three patients (12.5 %) were male and 21 (87.5 %) patients were female with the mean age 44.4 ± 13.6 years. The Shamblin group of tumors were found to be Type I in 6 (35.3 %), Type IIin 8 (47.1 %) and Type III in 3 (11.6 %) of the 17 patients who were available for classification. In 23 cases (95.8 %) the tumor was totally removed. On follow-up tumor recurrence was detected in one patient. Surgical complications were permanent cranial nerve injury in two patients (8.3 %) and hemiplegia in one (4.2%) patient. Transient ischemic attack (TIA) developed in one case (4.2%) due to preoperative embolization. Conclusion:The definitive treatment of CBP is surgical excision. However, there is risk forsome complications such as cranial nerve damage and rarely hemiplegia. In our study, the surgical success rate was found to be quite good and the rate of various neurological complications seen in some cases is also in compliance with the literature data.
