title: [Swallowing syncope in a patient with diffuse esophageal spasm].
abstract: We present a patient with swallowing syncope. The esophageal manometric examination showed a diffuse spasm. This induces a vagovagal reflex mediated by tensoreceptors from the esophageal wall, which block the AV and/or sinus nodes.
