Carotid Body Tumour Radiological Diagnosis and Surgical Management - Our Experience
Abstract: Background: Carotid Body Tumours are rare. Despite over a century of describing surgery, controversy remains surrounding details of their treatment. Most complications are considered technically preventable. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included 13 cases diagnosed as Carotid Body Tumours.
