Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report our initial clinical experience with N-hexyl cyanoacrylate (NHCA), a novel liquid agent for neurovascular embolization. METHODS Four paragangliomas were treated with percutaneous embolization using NHCA as the sole embolic material. In one dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF), NHCA was used in combination with other embolic materials. Procedural specifics, complications and angiographic results were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Total or subtotal devascularization was obtained in 3 of the 4 paragangliomas. In the largest tumor, only partial devascularization could be achieved. The dAVF was completely occluded. Catheter entrapment did not occur. After dAVF treatment, the patient had an asymptomatic lacunar infarction, while there was no procedural morbidity related to paraganglioma treatment. CONCLUSIONS In this series, neurovascular embolization with NHCA was feasible and effective. It may be particularly beneficial for small and tortuous vessels that require low-profile catheterization and a slow and controlled polymerization. Further studies are necessary to prove the benefits of NHCA over established embolic agents.

Abstract
Objectives In carotid paraganglioma surgery, magnification is crucial to properly evaluate the anatomical relationships between mass, carotid wall, cranial nerves, tumour vascular supply and fascial envelope. The aims of this study are to describe the microsurgical technique, along with the underlying microsurgical anatomy, and to assess outcomes in terms of disease control, complications and functional results. Methods Twenty-six patients, accounting for 29 carotid paragangliomas, treated with microsurgery by the same senior surgeon over a 35-year period, were included. Results No carotid injury requiring repair, nor peri- or post-operative stroke occurred in this series. No surgical injury of the main trunk of VII to XII cranial nerves occurred. Complete excision was obtained in all cases and no recurrence was observed during follow-up. Conclusions The small study size and its retrospective nature suggests caution; however, our results show that microsurgery can allow a safe and precise dissection of the carotids and nerves.

Abstract
Malignant carotid body tumors (MCBT) are rare and diagnosed after detection of nodal or distant metastases. This systematic review (SR) focuses on MCBT initially approached by surgery. Preferred Reporting Items for SR and Meta-Analysis (MA) guided the articles search from 2000 to 2023 on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Among 3548 papers, 132 (337 patients) were considered for SR; of these, 20 (158 patients) for MA. Malignancy rate was 7.3%, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) mutation 17%, age at diagnosis between 4th and 6th decades, with a higher prevalence of females. MCBTs were mostly Shamblin III, with nodal and distant metastasis in 79.7% and 44.7%, respectively. Malignancy should be suspected if CBT >4 cm, Shamblin III, painful or otherwise symptomatic, at the extremes of age, bilateral, with multifocal disease, and SDHx mutations. Levels II-III clearance should be performed to exclude nodal metastases and adjuvant treatments considered on a case-by-case basis.

Abstract
Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare neoplasms of the neuroectoderm accounting for 0.6% of head and neck tumors, with a 2%-12.5% risk of malignancy. While surgical resection has been associated with a high rate of neurologic and vascular complications, it remains the mainstay of treatment for malignant CBTs. We present the case of a 40-year-old female with a 5-year history of progressively enlarging right-sided neck mass, with MRI and MRA showing a Shamblin grade III CBT encasement of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Blood flow was absent in the petrous segment of ICA, with great collateralization of brain blood supply, enabling en bloc resection of the tumor with a carotid bulb and ligation of the common carotid artery (CCA) without vascular reconstruction. Further, we describe the characteristics and current management for malignant CBTs, including surgical management, pre-surgical embolization, and adjuvant radiation therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Paraganglioma (PG); also known as Glomus Tumor, is a rare neoplastic entity that originates from neural crest cells. It can manifest in different patterns, chiefly benign but others are locally invasive and malignant in behavior. Due to the prevalence of other more common types of neck masses and Paraganglioma's exceeding rarity, misdiagnoses can easily take place, and this results in higher patient morbidity and mortality rates. Preoperative diagnosis constitutes a major clinical challenge, especially in patients with a previous surgical history in the neck region like our patient. CASE PRESENTATION We are hereby presenting the case of a 56-year-old female with a known history of total thyroidectomy, who presented to our department with a progressively growing painful recurring neck mass two years following her total thyroidectomy. The preoperative diagnostic assessment revealed two unilateral synchronous masses encapsulating the Right Common Carotid Artery and occupying the common carotid bifurcation. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Complete surgical resection of the lesions after isolation from the surrounding anatomical structures was done. Subsequent histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses of the specimens established the diagnosis of a Carotid Body Tumor (CBT). CONCLUSION CBTs are rare vascular neoplasia, and they possess the potential for malignant transformation. This neoplasia warrants investigation and documentation to establish innovative diagnostic parameters and accomplish timely surgical interventions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a unilateral synchronous malignant Carotid Body Tumor from Syria. Surgery remains the treatment of choice, while radio-/chemotherapy is reserved for non-surgical cases only.

Abstract
Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare and mostly benign. Research outcomes usually arise from single-center data. We conducted this study to present the characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent surgical resection of CBT at our hospital over the past 20 years. In this retrospective review, the records of CBTs in our hospital were reviewed between 1998 and 2021. All patients who underwent CBT resection were included. The follow-up period was 12 months. A total of 44 CBTs were treated in our hospital. The male-to-female ratio was 1:2.4. Only 4.5% of patients had Shamblin I tumors. Patients with Shamblin II and III tumors were 56.8% and 38.6%, respectively. Duplex scan was used to diagnose CBT in all of the patients. The majority of our patients (97.7%) did not receive any preoperative embolization despite an average tumor size of 4.9 cm. Cranial nerve injuries were observed in 29.5% of cases. Meanwhile, stroke was reported in only two cases (4.5%). No deaths were encountered. Surgery is the definitive treatment for CBT. Size and local extension appear to be the main reasons for adverse events rather than surgical techniques. Our results are consistent with those of previously published studies. Good outcomes are expected in high-volume centers with appropriate preoperative imaging.

Abstract
Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors typically arising from nonsecretory head and neck parasympathetic ganglia. Historically thought of as aggressive tumors that warranted equally aggressive surgical intervention, evidence has emerged demonstrating that the vast majority of HNPGLs are slow growing and indolent. It is also now recognized that a large proportion of HNPGLs are hereditary with succinate dehydrogenase gene mutations typically implicated. These recent advances have led to significant changes in the way in which clinicians investigate and treat HNPGLs with most now opting for more conservative treatment strategies. However, a proportion of patients present with more aggressive disease and still require nonconservative treatment strategies. Recent studies have sought to determine in which groups of patients the morbidity associated with treatment is justified. We summarize the recent advances in the understanding and management of these tumors and we provide our recommendations regarding the management of HNPGLs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preoperative α-adrenergic blockade is thought to decrease perioperative risks and mortality in surgeries for adrenal pheochromocytoma. However, there are limited data on the efficacy of α-blockers in surgeries for retroperitoneal paragangliomas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the preoperative α-adrenergic blockade on outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for extra-adrenal retroperitoneal paraganglioma. METHODS We searched the clinical database for patients diagnosed with extra-adrenal retroperitoneal paraganglioma by postoperative histopathology in the General Hospital of People's Liberation Army in China from 2000 to 2017. We compared the preoperative status of patients, preoperative examination, preoperative preparation, intraoperative and postoperative cardiovascular events, intake and output, length of stay in the intensive care unit, length of hospital stays, and short-term outcomes between patients who received preoperative treatment with α-adrenergic blockade and those who did not. RESULTS Of the 167 patients enrolled in the study, 61 received preoperative α-adrenergic blockade therapy. Intraoperative heart rate elevation and highest heart rate were higher in patients undergoing tumor manipulation with preoperative α-adrenergic blockade than those who did not (p < 0.05). However, there were no significant differences between these 2 groups in terms of intraoperative blood pressure elevation and systolic blood pressure decrease following tumorectomy (p > 0.05). Moreover, there were no significant differences in postoperative complications and outcomes (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Under the current medical practice, resection of extra-adrenal retroperitoneal paraganglioma can be successfully carried out with or without preoperative α-adrenergic blockade.
