Abstract

A 72-year-old female who underwent the extirpation of metastatic intraspinal tumor showed an extremely wide variation of blood pressure with recurrent episodes of syncope due to paroxysmal hypotension. Treatment of the patient with salt supplement and L-threo-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylserine, an exogenous precursor of norepinephrine, markedly improved the syncopal attack as well as the daily activity.
