Abstract:

Chemodectomas are rare, in most cases, benign neoplasms. They originate from the chemoreceptor cells of the carotid glomus in the bifurcation of the carotid artery. Chemodectoma treatment is surgical. Classical removal of the tumor carries a high risk of damage of arteries and nerves. We present a case report of high localization (C1) carotid chemodectoma removal in a hybrid operating room. Tumor was successfully removed after selective embolization of chemodectoma with protection of distal flow of the internal carotid artery. This approach helped to minimize intraoperative blood loss, as well as to shorten time of intervention.
