Neurocardiogenic syncope in a 10-year-old boy

We present a case with a suspected epileptic disorder. This may be a result of a neurocardiogenic syncope leading to seizures. A 10-year-old boy suffe red two episodes of sudden loss of consciousness after getting injections. Electrocardiography (ECG) and electroencephalography recordings during a ve nipuncture showed asystole of 6 seconds followed by a generalized seizure w ith clonic jerks of the right arm and leg while theta waves in the EEG were noted. Tilt-table testing could not provoke a pathological reaction.
