Abstract: (3376 Views)
Three cases who underwent surgery in different areas of the
craniofacial region were reported with bradycardia developing intraoperatively
during flap traction. Many cases of the oculocardiac reflex during
treatment of the orbital region have been reported in the literature. This
manuscript recorded that reflex bradycardia can occur during traction or
stretching of any structure innervated by the trigeminal nerve and thus the
name trigeminal-vagal reflex is better than the name oculocardiac reflex.
