Abstract:
The reflex-induced cardiovascular syncope is rarely associated with facial neuralgia and neck neoplasms. We report the case of a male with vasopressor and cardioinhibitor syncopes, despite the implantation of a pacemaker. Because of a glossopharyngeal neuralgia, a neoplasm of the left parapharyngeal fossae is diagnosed. The pathophysiology and the therapeutic approach is discussed.
