Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) has multiple causes both familial and acquired. The most common cause is usually idiopathic. In the past literature, elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) has not been reported to be a cause of SSS. We present a case of a 55-year-old male that developed SSS after surgical resection of a brain tumor. We have investigated the causal relationship between increased ICP and SSS. We have concluded that elevated ICP creates a sympathovagal imbalance leading to SSS.
病态窦房结综合征（SSS）有多种病因，包括家族性和后天性。最常见的病因通常是特发性的。在过去的文献中，尚未报道颅内压升高（ICP）是SSS的病因。我们报告一例55岁男性在脑肿瘤手术切除后发生SSS的病例。我们研究了ICP升高与SSS之间的因果关系。我们得出结论，ICP升高会导致交感迷走神经失衡，进而导致SSS。
