Baroreceptor failure after bilateral resection of carotid artery paragangliomas

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.
