Indocyanine green fluorescence guided resection of parathyroid adenoma of the carotid sheath: a case report and review of the literature.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ectopic parathyroid tissue can pose difficulties in diagnosis, management, and resection of adenomas in patients with hyperparathyroidism. The use of multimodal pre-operative imaging is recommended due to the diverse anatomic presentation of parathyroid adenomas and the potential presence of multiple adenomas. Resection failure still can occur, however, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is an intraoperative tool that has potential to help address this challenge. In the case which follows we demonstrate the use of ICG fluorescence imaging to assist in successful resection of a parathyroid adenoma located within the carotid sheath.

Case description

We present the case of a 75-year-old woman with primary hyperparathyroidism due to a parathyroid adenoma loc
