In a prospective study of consecutive patients (age 15 or over) with transient loss of consciousness 45 patients had a history of seizure and 74 patients had a history of syncope. All patients had an EEG, ECG, laboratory tests and a hyperventilation test and were followed for an average of 14.5
We report the case of a male aged 2 years 6 months with left temporal lobe epilepsy who presented with ictal bradycardia syndrome leading to asystole. The clinical presentation was remarkable for the occurrence of clustering syncope. A seizure was recorded on a video electroencephalogram-
We studied 94 consecutive patients (age 15 or over) to investigate which aspects of the history and clinical findings help to distinguish seizures from syncope and related conditions. Clonic movements or automatism observed by an eyewitness classified an event as a seizure. The seizure group
Cardiogenic syncope can present as a seizure. The distinction between seizure disorder and cardiogenic syncope can only be made if one considers the diagnosis. Our main objective was to identify whether patients presenting with a chief complaint (reason for visit) as seizure or syncope We studied the long-term follow-up of patients with the diagnosis of "syncope of unknown origin," and their progression to epilepsy to gain a better understanding of the relationship between syncope and epilepsy, and to determine whether findings of the first syncopal attack have prognostic
We studied the diagnostic interpretation by physicians of written histories of 118 patients with a transient loss of consciousness. Considerable disagreement about a diagnosis of either syncope or seizure was found. Overall agreement was only 31%; an erroneous diagnosis was made in 16% of cases. We
OBJECTIVE
To quantify and characterise the reports of syncope and seizures following quadrivalent (4v) human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination.
METHODS
Retrospective case series of notifications to SAEFVIC (Surveillance of Adverse Events Following Vaccination In the Community), May 2007 - April
This is a case report, which explores the presentation to the emergency department of a fit and well female with a known ventricular bigeminy. She presented with convulsive episodes. The working differential diagnosis was of possible cardiac syncope with anoxic seizure activity or neurogenically
A case of glossopharyngeal neuralgia associated with seizures, syncope, bradycardia, and hypotension is presented. Intracranial section of the 9th cranial nerve and the upper filaments of the 10th cranial nerve resulted in the resolution of all symptoms. The literature is reviewed and the
OBJECTIVE
To explore the clinical feasibility of plasma brain-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP) level to differentiate the two major causes of transient unconsciousness, seizure and vasovagal syncope (VVS) in adult patients.
METHODS
ProBNP levels were evaluated within 24 hours following attack in
Physicians in Rhode Island sometimes find it difficult to advise patients about returning to driving after they present with a seizure or syncopal episode due to lack of statutory or professional guidance on the issue. We provide an overview of the medical literature on public policies and
Syncope and seizure are frequently encountered problems in daily neurology practice, and they also share common findings such as transient loss of consciousness and atonia. Sometimes, it is difficult to make a differentiation between the two entities using only clinical findings. In this study,
Many approved medicines are used with their adverse drug reactions (ADRs) appropriately managed in the clinical setting based on their risks and benefits. In this survey, the correlation between human ADR (specifically syncope/loss of consciousness and seizures/convulsions) and safety signals
Episodes of syncope or breath-holding spells are often misdiagnosed as epileptic events. The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of an electroencephalogram (EEG) with ocular compression to distinguish breath-holding spells and syncope from epileptic seizures. A retrospective analysis
Syncope and epileptic seizures share some common clinical characteristics that may complicate the diagnostic process. In clinical practice, syncope is frequently misdiagnosed as an epileptic seizure and consequently treated with antiepileptic drugs. In this study, we identified 57 patients with
