Abstract:Background and purpose
The classic Shamblin system fails to provide valuable guidance in many Shamblin’s III carotid body tumors (III-CBTs) due to the variable forms of carotid arteries and the complex anatomic relationships in parapharyngeal space. We proposed a modified classification to separately divide III-CBTs into different subgroups on the basis of arterial relevant features and anatomical relevant features.
