Syncope is a sudden loss and gain of consciousness. Traditionally, it is caused by the abnormalities of neurological, cardiac or vasovagal systems. We present a case of a 19-year-old woman presenting with recurrent syncopal episodes with no apparent cause. Examination and investigations were unremarkable for any aetiology except positive tilt tests for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. The purpose of this report is to make physicians aware of the unique presentation of this rare aetiology with recurrent syncopal episodes and the novel management approach.
晕厥是一种意识的突然丧失和恢复。传统上,它是由神经、心脏或血管迷走神经等系统的异常引起的。我们报告一例19岁女性,反复出现不明原因的晕厥发作。除直立倾斜试验对体位性直立性心动过速综合征呈阳性外,检查和各项调查均未发现任何病因。本报告的目的是让医生了解这种罕见病因伴有反复晕厥发作的独特表现以及新颖的管理方法。
