Syncope or epileptic fits? Some examples of diagnostic confounding factors

Syncope or epileptic fits? Some examples of diagnostic confounding factors

Syncope is a condition often misdiagnosed as epileptic seizures. However, the differential diagnosis between both conditions can be quite difficult, even for well-trained physicians. Four cases of epilepsy and/or syncope are reported, to exemplify this situation. Each case is discussed individually, and the confounding factors are analyzed.
