Three patients who were admitted to hospital because of syncope were found to have malignant head and neck tumours. A patient who presented with malignant external otitis with syncope and postural hypotension is also described. It is postulated that the syncope and postural hypotension result from compressive irritation of the glossopharyngeal nerve either in the neck or at the base of the skull.
三名因晕厥入院的患者被发现患有头颈部恶性肿瘤。本文还描述了一名患有恶性外耳道炎并伴有晕厥和体位性低血压的患者。据推测，晕厥和体位性低血压是由于舌咽神经在颈部或颅底受到压迫性刺激所致。
