Protection of cranial nerves is one of the major challenges in the resection of paragangliomas of head and neck, especially in complex paragangliomas. We report a case of bilateral jugular tumor with unilateral carotid body tumor. Baroreflex failure syndrome(BFS) occurred after staged resection of bilateral lesions. There is still a lack of effective treatment for this complication. More prudent and reasonable treatment strategy is important to reduce the incidence of BFS.
