Syncope is a frequent cause of access to emergency departments. Recurrent syncope may be associated with a transient lock of consciousness.

In this study, we report a rare case of left carotid chemodectoma in a patient with frequent access to the emergency room for syncope in which a thorough differential diagnosis has been performed.
