In this chapter of Bradley’s Neurology: Deep Dives distinguishes between transient loss of consciousness due to syncope and seizure disorders. You’ll learn to:
-Classify Syncope: Understand cardiac, reflex (vasovagal), orthostatic, and metabolic causes.
-Recognize Seizure Types: Review focal vs. generalized pathophysiology and clinical presentations.
-Differentiate Clinically: Use history (prodrome, duration, triggers) and exam (post-event confusion, tongue biting, incontinence) to tell syncope from seizure.
-Assess Falls & Drop Attacks: Identify non-seizure neurologic and non-neurologic mimics.
-Plan Diagnostics: Determine when to order ECG, echocardiography, EEG, tilt-table testing, and relevant lab work.
Master these distinctions to refine your differential diagnosis and select targeted investigations—essential for accurate patient evaluation and management.
