Head and neck tumors can rarely cause carotid sinus syndrome and this often resolves by surgical intervention or palliative chemoradiotherapy. If these modalities are not an option or are ineffective, the most preferred treatment is permanent pacemaker therapy. Here, we present the first case of cardioneuroablation treatment performed in patient with oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer who developed recurrent asystole and syncope attacks due to compression of the carotid sinus on neck movement.
头颈部肿瘤很少会引起颈动脉窦综合征，且该综合征通常通过手术干预或姑息性放化疗即可缓解。如果这些方法不可行或无效，最优选的治疗方法是永久性起搏器治疗。在此，我们报告首例因头颈部运动时颈动脉窦受压而导致反复出现心搏停止和晕厥发作的口咽鳞状细胞癌患者接受心脏神经消融治疗的病例。
