title: A debate on the certainty of etiology in a case of syncope.
abstract: We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with reccurent syncope. The investigations for establishing the etiology of syncope were extended over 4 years and multiple possible mecahisms for the syncope were identified. Even if the guidelines mention a good diagnostic yield for history and initial evaluation, for some selected cases the initial diagnostic supposition should be revised.
