[A case of swallow syncope].

Syncope accounts for nearly 5 % of the emergency intake causes. Swallow syncope is a rare form of cardio-neurogenic syncope. Less than a hundred cases were reported since its first description in the mid-18th century. We present the case of an 83-year-old patient with recurrent syncope occurring during meals. Telemetry monitoring revealed a severe bradycardia with complete AV block and a pause of 8 seconds. A dual chamber pacemaker was implanted and the syncopal episodes were abolished. We shall briefly review the diagnostic methods, mechanisms, and therapy of swallow syncope.
