Esophageal ultrasound-guided bronchoscopic needle aspiration (EUS-B-NA) is a relatively safe procedure with rare complications. A vasovagal attack after EUS-B-NA has not been reported to date. Usually benign and self-limiting, it can cause refractory bradycardia and sudden cardiac arrest. Timely intervention reduces morbidity and mortality. Here, we report a novel case of vasovagal attack after EUS-B-NA and was managed successfully. Management includes identifying the triggering event and keeping the patient in the Trendelenburg position. Atropine is reserved for refractory cases. (www.actabiomedica.it).

Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) rarely presents with dizziness as the primary complaint, which can delay diagnosis. We report a rare case of dizziness as the chief complaint for a clot-in-transit and extensive bilateral pulmonary emboli.

Vestibular syncope is a rare condition in which vertigo may cause syncopal attacks; however, the term has been associated with confusion because it has been ascribed to completely different vestibular and neurological conditions, from dizziness to Menière disease (MD), to the neurovegetative symptoms in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and central vertebrobasilar hyperfusion. A 75-year-old woman with vasodepressive vasovagal syncope, confirmed by a tilt test with trinitrine administration, was referred for an audiological and vestibular assessment showing an acute unilateral peripheral vestibular deficit on the right side. The diagnosis is peripheral acute vestibular deficits.

Article Synopsis
- Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder causing muscle weakness due to disrupted acetylcholine receptors, complicating management during surgeries.
- A 66-year-old male with severe MG and health complications underwent successful open sigmoid colectomy using epidural anesthesia instead of traditional methods.
- The case suggests that neuraxial anesthesia could be a safer alternative for high-risk patients during colorectal surgeries, avoiding neuromuscular agents and intubation.

A 60-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with "repeated loss of consciousness for 20 years." An electrocardiogram performed revealed sinus rhythm, and echocardiography, head/chest CTs, and a laboratory examination yielded no significant abnormalities. Besides, there were no positive results from the head-up tilt test.
