Frequently Asked Questions

What is syncope in children? ▼

Syncope (fainting) is a temporary loss of consciousness caused by a brief reduction in blood flow to the brain. It is common in children and adolescents and is usually benign, but requires evaluation to rule out cardiac or neurological causes.

How do I tell if my child fainted or had a seizure? ▼

Fainting typically occurs when standing, with warning signs like lightheadedness, nausea, or tunnel vision. Seizures often involve jerking movements, occur without warning, and are followed by confusion. A neurologist can clarify the diagnosis with EEG and history.

When should syncope in a child be evaluated urgently? ▼

Seek urgent evaluation for syncope during exercise, with family history of sudden cardiac death, associated chest pain or palpitations, or if the episode was prolonged or associated with injury.
