title: [Surgical treatment of tumors of the carotid body].
abstract: In the period between 1967 and 1985 the authors operated on 5 patients with chemodectoma; their ages ranged from 29 to 39. The duration of the disease ranged from 2 to 4 years. The tumor was on the right side in 3 and on the left side in 2 patients. Carotid angiography, which was conducted in all cases, revealed a richly vascularized tumor in the region of the carotid artery bifurcation with characteristic "angulation" and "cuff" signs. Damage to the carotid arteries was avoided during the operation in 3 patients and the chemodectoma was removed subadventitionally. In 2 patients the arteries were injured. There were neither neurological complications nor fatal outcomes.
