[Reflex syncope as a preliminary symptom of a rhinopharyngeal lymphoma. A case report]. / Sincope riflessa come sintomo d'esordio di un tumore del rinofaringe. Descrizione di un caso clinico.

ABSTRACT

The authors report a 57 year old patient affected by rhinopharyngeal NH lymphoma that appeared as a parapharyngeal space lesions-syncope syndrome. The activation of a cardioinhybitory reflex by the stimulation of the glossopharyngeal nerve seems to be the pathogenetic basis for his syndrome.
