Abstract

A thirty-five-year-old woman had an asymptomatic, slow growing mass that pushed the right tonsilla palati- na and was pulsatile in the oropharyngeal region.Magnetic resonance imaging showed a vascular mass at the carotid bifurcation, causing displacement of the external and internal carotid arteries. The diagnosis of a carotid body tumor was confirmed by magnetic res­ onance angiography. Surgery included a subadventi- tial dissection at the carotid bifurcation, preserving the hypoglossal and vagal nerves. The patient developed loss of function of the tenth cranial nerve postopera- tively. After a year follow-up period there was no change in the function of the tenth cranial nerve.

Özet

Otuz befl yaflında kadın hasta yavafl büyüyen asemptomatik kitle ile baflvurdu. Kitle, sağ tonsilla palatinayı itmekte ve orofarenjeal bölgede pulsas- yon göstermekteydi. Manyetik rezonans inceleme- sinde, kitlenin karotis bifurkasyonunda eksternal ve internal karotis arterlerde yer değiflikliğine yol açtığı izlendi. Karotis cismi tümörü tanısı manyetik rezo- nans anjiyografi ile desteklendi. Cerrahi tedavi ola- rak, karotis bifurkasyonunda hipoglossus ve vagus korunarak subadventisyal diseksiyon yapıldı. Ameli- yat sonrası dönemde hastada 10. kranyal sinir felci olufltu. Bir yıllık izlem sonunda hastanın sinir felcin- de değifliklik olmadı
