BMJ case reports Vol. 16 (2) • Feb 2023

We present the case of a patient with oral squamous cell carcinoma treated with the programmed death ligand inhibitor, pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. She subsequently developed vasovagal-type autonomic dysfunction thought to be secondary to the pembrolizumab. The patient's vasovagal symptoms resolved with the initiation of oral glucocorticoids.
