Abstract
Surgical removal of a large carotid body tumour can be difficult and hazardous because the tumours are extremely vascular. We present a case in which preoperative embolisation of such a tumour facilitated subsequent surgery. The case also illustrates a technique for protecting vascular territories outside the embolisation field from inadvertent embolisation.Keywords
