Resumen

Los paragangliomas carotídeos (PC) son tumors infrecuentes derivados de los paraganglios del cuerpo carotídeo. Al diagnóstico se llega por la clínica y las imágenes. El tratamiento es quirúrgico, siendo fundamental la actitud ante la arteria carótida. Presentamos nueve pacientes, en tres de ellos el diagnóstico es complejo. Un caso se trata con radioterapia. De los ocho pacientes operados: en tres se conserva la totalidad de la estructura arterial, en dos casos se reseca la carótida externa, en dos enfermos se sustituye la carótida (un injerto de safena, una prótesis de gore tex),en una paciente se liga la carótida común. Nuestro objetivo es referir las decisiones tomadas en los pacientes de nuestra casuística, comparándolas con los datos de la literatura. Concluimos que el diagnóstico puede ser engañoso y que la actitud ante la carótida es variable, debiéndose tener siempre prevista la realización de técnicas de sustitución arterial

Abstract

Carotid body paragangliomas (CBP) are relatively rare tumors arising from the carotid body paraganglion. Clinical signs and images are necessary to establish the diagnosis. Surgery is the preferred method of treatment, paying special attention to the carotid artery. Nine patients with carotid body tumors were identified, three of them with complicated diagnosis. One patient is treated with radiotherapy. Out of the eight surgical patients, three preserved the whole arterial structure, the external carotid artery is resected in two patients, the carotid artery is replaced (safen graft, gore tex prosthesis) in other two patients, and the common carotid was tied in the remaining patient. Our objective is to show the decisions taken in the patients from our casuistic, comparing them to the literature data. We conclude that the diagnosis may be deceptive, and that the attitude forward the carotid is variable, always being prepared to do arterial replacement techniques
