Association of Oesophageal Hypertension with Bradycardia Mediated Deglutition Syncope.
Swallow syncope is a rare form of situational syncope. We report a case of swallow syncope with invasive confirmation of esophageal hypertension (spasm) and invasive confirmation of a bradycardia mechanism. Awareness of this uncommon disorder is important as a treatable cause of syncope.
متن کاملDeglutition Syncope: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Deglutition syncope (DS) is a rare, neurally-mediated syncopal syndrome arising from an aberrant vagotonic reflex during swallow-associated esophageal dilation. Its association with gastroesophageal disorders often prompts gastroenterology consultation. An 89-year-old man with recent dysphagia and otalgia was admitted after a syncopal episode occurred while eating. Esophageal imaging and endosc...
متن کاملDeglutition Syncope: Two Case Reports Attributed to Vagal Hyperactivity
Deglutition syncope is a relatively rare cause of syncope that belongs to the category of neurally mediated reflex syncopal syndromes. The phenomenon is related to vagal reflex in context to deglutition causing atrioventricular block and acute reduction in cardiac output leading to dizziness or syncope. We present case series of two cases of deglutition syncope, of which first was managed medic...
متن کاملRecurrent Postural Vasovagal Syncope
Background—The pathophysiology of vasovagal syncope is poorly understood, and the treatment usually ineffective. Our clinical experience is that patients with vasovagal syncope fall into 2 groups, based on their supine systolic blood pressure, which is either normal ( 100 mm Hg) or low (70–100 mm Hg). We investigated neural circulatory control in these 2 phenotypes. Methods and Results—Sympathe...
متن کاملRecurrent laughter-induced syncope.
INTRODUCTION Syncope is a common presenting complaint in Neurology clinics or Emergency departments, but its causes are sometimes difficult to diagnose. Apart from vasovagal attacks, other benign, neurally mediated syncopes include "situational" syncopes, which occur after urination, coughing, swallowing, or defecation. CASE REPORT A healthy 42-year-old male patient presented to the neurology...
