In this video, Ms. Tiyasha Mondal from Purba Medinipur, West Bengal, shares her remarkable recovery journey after being treated for a carotid body tumor at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bengaluru. Her medical journey began two years ago with dizziness, temporary vision blackouts, and low blood pressure. After a period of stability, she noticed swelling below her right ear, which led to consultations with several ENT specialists and a CT scan revealing paraganglioma. Under the care of Dr. Sampath Chandra Prasad Rao, Program Lead – Skull Base Surgery and Consultant ENT, Head & Neck Surgeon & Cochlear Implantologist, Ms. Mondal underwent a specialised surgical approach. The treatment included stenting of the internal carotid artery, followed by successful tumour removal, performed in collaboration with the Neuroradiology Department. The surgery was completed without complications, and Ms. Mondal made an excellent recovery. She expressed heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Sampath, his team, and the entire staff at Manipal Hospitals for their expertise, compassion, and coordinated care that restored her health and confidence.
