Abstract

A 26 year old male was referred to our hospital because of 2 episodes of syncope. The first episode was associated with a loss of consciousness for 2 minutes, which occurred during micturition. The second episode occurred within 2 weeks of the first episode. There was no history of seizure like activity during the episodes. There was history of difficulty concentrating in studies, lightheadedness on getting up from bed, mental clouding and confusion for several months prior to the syncopal episode. There was history of tremulousness in his legs.
