Senkop ve kardiyak arrestle karşımıza gelen nadir karşılaşılan nörolojik acil: Glossofaringeal nevralji

Bu yazıda boğazdan başlayıp kulağa vuran ağrı esnasında senkop atağı ve kardiyak arrest gelişen glossofaringeal nevraljili bir hasta sunuldu. Sinüs nod disfonksiyonu ve takiben gelişen senkop yaşamı tehdit eden bir durumdur. Yoğun vagal stimülasyon nedeniyle bu olgu vagoglossofaringeal nevralji olarak da adlandırılabilir. Olgumuzun tedavisinde karbamazepin ve pacemaker etkili oldu ve hasta normal hayatına geri döndü.

A rare neurological emergency presented with syncope and cardiac arrest: Glossopharyngeal neuralgia

In this report, a case of glossopharyngeal neuralgia associated with pain paroxysms striking from pharynx to right ear, syncope, and cardiac arrest is presented. Sinus node dysfunction and subsequent syncope with pain is a life-threatening condition. Because of intense vagal stimulation, this case was considered to be vasoglossopharyngeal neuralgia. The patient was treated successfully with carbamazepin and pacemaker and he returned to normal.
