Abstract

<p>　We examined the data of 23 cases of carotid body tumors that were surgically resected at Keio University Hospital. There were no serious complications, such as death or cerebral infarction, and the incidence of postoperative neuropathy was lower than that reported in the past. After considering the surgical indications, we were able to undertake safe surgery through interdisciplinary collaboration between the divisions of neurosurgery and vascular surgery. By measuring the angle at which the tumor surrounds the internal carotid artery before surgery, it is possible to infer, to some degree at least, the necessity for carotid artery reconstruction.</p>
