Anterior cervical pseudomeningocele causing syncope after spinal surgery: A case report
2022, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :We present a case of a pseudomeningocele formed after an anterior and posterior approach for cervical decompression in a patient with OPLL, resulting in recurrent syncope. Our report is the first to associate pressure from a pseudomeningocele on the carotid body with syncope, consistent with syncope associated with right carotid massage [17–19]. In this case, drainage of the fluid collection provided temporary improvement in symptoms.

2019, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :The former mostly emerges in elderly men (>50 years of age) and has a low frequency of reflective syncope, with no precursory symptoms; the latter tends to affect women of young to middle age and has precursory symptoms such as vomiting, staggering, and pulsation.23 Previous studies have precisely described that the incidence of cardioinhibitory CSS is 35–40 patients per million population per year.24,25 Other authors have reported that the prevalence of CSS could be at most 45% in elderly populations.26,27
Al-Akhawayni's account of carotid sinus hypersensitivity
2014, International Journal of CardiologyCarotid sinus syndrome
2013, Cardiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :If a response was not elicited, the test was repeated in the supine position.33 By the 1980s, the general consensus was that external stimulation of the carotid sinus should be by longitudinal massage; the force applied should not occlude the carotid artery, and the duration should not exceed 5 seconds.34 Clearly, this procedure has inherent difficulties relating to both the patient and the clinician that make standardization challenging.

2010, European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :After 30 days of follow up, 25 of 27 patients (93%) were free of syncope and 24 of them free of a pacemaker (89%). The incidence of CSS in elderly people is probably underreported.12 A 50% incidence was present in patients evaluated for unexplained dizziness and syncope.13
