Baroreflex failure syndrome after the resection of complex paragangliomas of head and neck:a case report
Protection of cranial nerves is one of the major challenges in the resection of paragangliomas of head and neck,especially in complex paragangliomas.We report a case of bilateral jugular tumor with unilateral carotid body tumor.Baroreflex failure syndrome(BFS)occurred after staged resection of bilateral lesions.There is still a lack of effective treatment for this complication.More prudent and reasonable treatment strategy is important to reduce the incidence of BFS.
