This report describes a case of a delayed cerebral embolic infarction, after internal carotid artery (ICA) ligation secondary to carotid body tumor resection. We describe a 34-year-old woman who underwent left ICA ligation during a large carotid body tumor surgery. Immediately after surgery, the patient was neurologically asymptomatic; however, she subsequently developed a cerebral embolic infarction nine hours postoperatively. After beginning antiplatelet therapy, all symptoms ultimately resolved, although over a gradual course. Since the ligation of the ICA can cause thromboembolic infarctions of the cerebrum, we contend that antiplatelet agents be administered to prevent and/or treat embolic strokes.

Abstract Background: Superb micro-vascular imaging (SMI) provided new advances in vascular imaging, resulting in revealing the overall vascularity detection of small or microflow states without the use of contrast media. This study aimed to explore the blood supply andfeeding artery of carotid body tumor (CBT) on SMI for providing more accurate information for surgery.Results: Twenty-six CBT lesions underwent color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and SMI, and were confirmed later by pathology. The blood flow patterns and feeding artery of CBTson CDFI and SMI were graded and compared.Compared with the application of CDFI, the pattern of more CBT lesionschanged to a higher Adler category by SMI (P<0.001). Thefeeding artery of two CBT lesions, which fail to show by CDFI, was internal carotid artery(ICA) by SMI and compared with CDFI the feeding artery of three changed from ICA or external carotid artery(ECA) to MIX (both ICA and ECA) by SMI. We classified the feeding artery of CBTs into originating from ICA or others (including ECA and MIX). For all the lesions, threelesions that stemmed from ICA and 23lesions that stemmed from ECAor MIX. CBT lesions stemming from ECA or MIX with Adler II or Adler III blood flow patterns accounted for 30.4% (7/23) or 69.6% (16/23), respectively, while CBT lesions stemming from ICA with Adler I or Adler II blood flow patterns accounted for 66.7% (2/3) or 33.3% (1/3), respectively. Conclusions: SMI is superior to CDFI in detecting vascularity of CBTs, and SMI could better investigate the origin of feeding vessels of CBTs in comparison to CDFI.Compared with those originating from ECA, CBTs from ICA has less vascularity.

Benign Mass

A carotid body tumor is typically a benign mass and can have a low malignant potential. It can grow in between, attach to, or surround the internal carotid artery and external carotid artery in the neck. If this mass grows too big, it can compress the two arteries, causing problems in getting blood flow to the brain. The purpose for this sonography examination was to evaluate a patient with the following symptoms: dizziness, facial nerve injury, and sensorineural hearing loss. The carotid body tumor is a highly vascular tumor. This sonography examination provides a good opportunity to teach the importance of the use of color Doppler and proper documentation of this pathology that is often incorrectly documented with improper settings. This case reviews a 69-year-old Caucasian male with a carotid body tumor. The sonographic features, prevalence, common symptoms, prognosis, and treatments of the carotid body tumor are reviewed.

Pleomorphic Cells

A carotid body tumor was found closely attached to the left carotid artery of a cow. The neoplastic tissue was well defined, and no metastases were observed, but there was a slight invasion of the capsule. Histologically, there was great resemblance to the corresponding tumor in dogs: pleomorphic cells, numerous vessels, peritheliomatous patterns, i.e. predominantly epithelial cells lined by endothelium, and pseudoalveoli enclosed by reticulum.
