MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF NEUROGENIC VASOVAGAL SYNCOPE

Syncope is a common clinical problem, with a relatively simple etiology but with a complex pathogenesis. There are many clinical varieties, thus requiring multiple clinical, instrumental, and multi-disciplinary investigations. The most common variety is so-called vasovagal syncope, frequently observed at a neurological level. Often, however, syncope requires an accurate differential diagnosis with two other diseases with which it shares similarities and differences, such as epileptic seizures and psychogenic crisis.
