A Hybrid Approach Towards Successful Resection of a Huge Carotid Body Paraganglioma Using Coil Embolization and Traditional Surgical Techniques

Abstract

Carotid Body Paraganglioma (CBPGL), is a type of neuroendocrine tumor that should be managed promptly due to their malignant potential and locally aggressive nature making resection at a later stage difficult. The objective of this case report is to explore the benefit of coil embolization and describe the surgical techniques employed in successful resection of a huge CBPGL.
