A 19-year-old patient presented for syncope with third-degree AV block (TDAVB) at ECG. A chest-CT showed a thymic mass that could be responsible for TDAVB due to extrinsic vagal nerve compression. Thymectomy led to complete AV block resolution. An extrinsic vagal compression mechanism should be considered among causes of complete atrioventricular block.
一名19岁患者因心电图显示三度房室传导阻滞(TDAVB)伴晕厥就诊。胸部CT显示胸腺肿物,可能因外在迷走神经受压导致TDAVB。胸腺切除术后房室传导阻滞完全消失。完全性房室传导阻滞的病因应考虑外在迷走神经受压机制。
