    Pediatric syncope, a transient loss of consciousness, was studied in 63 children. A diagnostic protocol identified causes in 53.8% of cases, with vasovagal syncope being most common.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Neurology
    • Cardiology

    Context:

    • Syncope, a sudden transient loss of consciousness, affects children and requires accurate diagnosis.
    • Understanding the etiology of pediatric syncope is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Previous studies highlight challenges in diagnosing the cause of syncope in pediatric populations.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the causes of syncope in pediatric patients admitted to a university hospital.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized diagnostic protocol including ECG, EEG, and 24-hour monitoring.
    • To determine the incidence of cardiac, vascular, and non-cardiovascular causes of syncope in children.

    Summary:

    • A study examined 63 pediatric patients (1 month to 15 years) with syncope using ECG, EEG, and 24-hour monitoring.

  • The diagnostic protocol identified the cause in 53.8% of cases: 6.3% cardiac, 38% vascular (vasovagal), and 6.3% non-cardiovascular.
  • The etiology remained unidentified in 46% of patients, consistent with other research.

    • Impact:

    • The implemented protocol successfully identified the cause of syncope non-invasively in 25% of patients.
    • This study contributes to understanding the prevalence of different syncope types in children.
    • Findings support the utility of a systematic approach for diagnosing pediatric syncope.
