摘要
Syncope is common in the pediatric population and occurs in up to 15 percent of children prior to the end of adolescence. While the etiology of syncope in children is often benign and the majority of cases can be explained by isolated changes in vasomotor tone, a thorough evaluation is warranted to rule out more serious, life-threatening causes of syncope. Here, we present three atypical cases of syncope: a young judo player with recurrent syncope and dizziness, a teenage boy with syncopal episodes always preceded by stretching, and a child who experienced urticaria before losing consciousness. Herein, we review the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of syncope in children and adolescents.
