title: [Vasovagal syncope or epilepsy: how to avoid errors  in diagnosis].
abstract: Transitory loss of consciousness might have multiple mechanisms of development among which vasovagal syncope and epilepsy have the greatest significance. It is thought that in every forth patient the initial diagnosis is erroneous because of similarity of clinical picture and even well prepared specialists are not secured against mistakes. Aim of this review is to stress key points of diagnosis from the point of view of a cardiologist and epileptologist.
