Bezold-Jarisch Reflex as a result of narrow thoracic inlet caused by cervical kyphosis and compensatory hyperlordosis of the upper thoracic spine has never been reported. This case highlights the need to introspect into thoracic inlet morphology in severe cervicothoracic deformities. Thoracic inlet decompression is an efficient way of addressing this unique complication.
