Age-related vertebral fractures occur frequently in the elderly recently. An epidural block has been introduced as an effective management for the treatment of pain with vertebral compression fractures. While an epidural block is considered to be reasonably safe, serious complications may occur even when this invasive procedure is related to pain. Vasovagally mediated episodes of hypotension and bradycardia are thought to be a common cause of recurrent unexplained syncope. Precipitating factors include pain, trauma, fatigue, blood loss, or prolonged motionless standing. We report one case of vasovagal syncope associated with severe bradycardia and hypotension in a 78 year-old male patient with vertebral fractures. Syncopal attacks occurred during a caudal epidural block. The patient was resuscitated successfully and recovered without any adverse effects.
