[Vasovagal syncope--diagnostic difficulties in adolescents].
Consciousness disturbances in adolescents may be caused by different reasons. Among them, cardiologic and neurological backgrounds should be considered. The most important diagnostic tests the vasovagal syncopes are: tilt-table test, brain oxygenation measurement, routine and extended elektroencephalography. Performing of these examinations simultaneously may help in determining cause of symptoms. Our patient serves us as an example.
