Abstract
- Laryngeal microsurgery has been used popularly for phonosurgery. Sometimes, this procedure is complicated by cardiovascular changes due to insertion of laryngosope. Tachycardia and elevation of blood pressure are common but bradycardia induced by vagal reflex is very rare. The authors report the case of severe bradycardia induced by vagal reflex experienced during laryngeal microsurgery with a review of the literature.
