title: [The imaging diagnosis of carotid body tumors].
abstract: The paper deals with 2 cases of unilateral tumor of the carotid body, in men aged 46 and 51. The diagnosis, prior to surgery, was achieved through ultrasonographic and scanner studies, as well as conventional or selective angiography (digital subtraction). The semeiology displayed by these techniques, and by other possible systems of imagery, are emphasized for patients suspected of carotid glomus.
