ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Cardioneuroablation (CNA) has proven effectiveness in addressing hypervagotonia symptoms, such as neurocardiogenic syncope. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
In this case, we present the first-time application of CNA in a case of vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia (VGPN). A 59-year-old female with near-syncope, sinus bradycardia, and sinus pauses triggered by recurrent right-sided neck pain was diagnosed with VGPN. The patient underwent successful treatment with carbamazepine and CNA. Subsequent follow-up revealed the sustained absence of sinus bradycardia or pauses, even upon neck pain resurgence after discontinuing carbamazepine.CONCLUSION:
In this patient, CNA successfully prevented pauses associated with VGPN, avoiding permanent pacemaker implantation.Palavras-chave
