Carotid body tumour excision: Anaesthetic challenges and review of literature

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography showed a large well-defined soft-tissue lesion just above the right carotid artery bifurcation splaying internal and external carotid arteries and being fed by branches of these vessels [Figure 1]. Measures for cerebral protection, monitoring for adequacy...

Description
Summary:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) angiography showed a large well-defined soft-tissue lesion just above the right carotid artery bifurcation splaying internal and external carotid arteries and being fed by branches of these vessels [Figure 1]. Measures for cerebral protection, monitoring for adequacy of cerebral blood flow with EEG and somatosensory-evoked potential, measurement of blood flow using transcranial Doppler must be considered.
