Abstract: Carotid body tumours are rare benign tumours with a reported incidence of 1-2 per 1,00,000; arising at the bifurcation of the carotid artery. The carotid body is responsible for sensing the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood; hence, it is vital for controlling of ventilation during hypoxia, hypercapnia, and acidosis. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment modality for this condition. The authors present a case report of a 30-year-old patient who underwent excision of a left-sided carotid body tumour and discusses anaesthetic management.
