Abstract

Multiple head and neck paragangliomas are unusual pathologies. We report a case of a 24-year-old patient operated on at our centre for bilateral carotid artery paragangliomas who developed baroreceptor failure after their resection. Although this is an infrequent complication, it is important to be aware of it in order to ensure speedy diagnosis and treatment so as to avoid major post-surgical complications.

Resumen

Los paragangliomas (PGL) múltiples en la región de la cabeza y cuello son patologías raras. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 24 años que fue intervenida en nuestro centro de PGL carotídeos bilaterales y que desarrolló un fallo barorreceptor después de la resección de éstos. Aunque resulta una complicación poco frecuente, es importante conocerla para diagnosticarla y tratarla rápidamente, evitando así mayores complicaciones postoperatorias.
