We describe the case of a carotid body paraganglioma who was admitted for sudden onset of left-sided throbbing headache and visual impairment. We suggest to follow-up and treat CBPs, in order to avoid not only symptoms due to compressing and secreting effects, but also possible thrombotic complications in case of an aggressive course.

Abstract
We describe the case of a carotid body paraganglioma who was admitted for sudden onset of left-sided throbbing headache and visual impairment. We suggest to follow-up and treat CBPs, in order to avoid not only symptoms due to compressing and secreting effects, but also possible thrombotic complications in case of an aggressive course.
