| Abstrakt: | Multiple head and neck parangliomas are unusual pathologies. We report a case of a 24-year-old patient operated on at our centre for bilateral carotid artery parangliomas who developed baroreceptor failure after their resection. Albeit an infrequent complication, it is important to be aware of it in order to ensure is speedy diagnosis and treatment so as to avoid major post-surgical complications. (2008 Elsevier España, S.L.
