Özet

The carotid body tumor (CBT) is a rare paraganglioma neoplasm that often occurs in the head and neck

anatomical region. Carotid angiography continues to be widely regarded as the preferred diagnostic method

for this particular malignancy. Surgical intervention has been widely acknowledged as the primary approach

for managing CBTs. However, the resection of CBTs poses significant technical challenges due to its specific

anatomical position. To mitigate the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative challenges, we have

conducted a comprehensive review of both domestic and international literature to consolidate the surgical

approach and strategies for preventing and managing complications associated with this particular tumor.
