Abstract
We report 3 cases of carotid body tumor, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and preoperative embolization were conducted in all cases. Carotid body tumor is best treated by surgical removal to ensure a definitive cure. Carotid artery preservation and bleeding control are critical. Although preoperative diagnosis by CT and MRI is relatively easy, the degree of adhesion between a tumor and the carotid artery cannot be determined precisely. Preoperative superselective embolization of the feeding arteries appears useful in decreasing potential intraoperative bleeding and shortening the time required for resection, facilitating the surgical field.
