    Résumé

    The repeated syncopes in case of head and neck cancer are a complication rarely described in the literature. They occur when the tumor invade the carotid sinus or the afferent fibers of the glossopharyngeal nerve. We report the case of a 62-year-old man presented episodes of syncope synchronous of a recurrent hypopharyngeal tumor scheduled for chemotherapy and gastrostomy. A computerized tomography showed a voluminous tumor expanded to the carotid and parapharyngeal spaces. After treatment by isporenaline chlorhydrate in intensive care unit, a pacemaker was implanted to prevent syncopes and allowed the beginning of the chemotherapy.
