چکیده
|
Carotid body tumor (cbt) is paraganglioma and mainly found in the carotid bifurcation. the manifestations of the tumor are variable; in most cases, it presents as a non‑symptomatic slow‑growing mass, rarely compression of carotid body induces bradycardia and hypotension and repeated syncope, prolonged syncope can cause convulsion. convulsive syncope occurred in 0.03% of patients with syncope. in this paper, we report three cases with cbt and convulsive syncope for which surgery was done and patients did not experience syncope again.
