Abstract:

Three cases who underwent surgery in different areas of the craniofacial region were reported with bradycardia developing intraoperatively during flap traction. Many cases of the oculocardiac reflex during treatment of the orbital region have been reported in the literature. This manuscript recorded that reflex bradycardia can occur during traction or stretching of any structure innervated by the trigeminal nerve and thus the name trigeminal-vagal reflex is better than the name oculocardiac reflex.
