Presenting symptoms were dysphagia (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 7.29%), neck mass (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 7.29%), throat fullness (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 4.17%), and Horner syndrome (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 2.8%). Although radiologic images showed classic lateral displacement of the carotid arteries in 10 patients (42%), in 9 patients (38%) the radiologic findings demonstrated splaying of the carotid arteries similar to carotid body tumor, and in 5 patients (20%), the findings were indeterminate. Twenty\u2010one patients underwent surgical removal of the tumors with pathology revealing 10 paragangliomas, 10 schwannomas, and 1 neurofibroma. Horner (57%) and first\u2010bite (33%) syndromes were the most common complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although anterolateral displacement of the carotids is suggestive of a sympathetic tumor, absence of these findings does not rule out this entity.
