Differenzialdiagnose der Synkope

Synkopen sind ein häufiges Problem im Kindes- und Jugendalter. Meist handelt es sich um gutartige Reflexsynkopen, doch müssen potenziell gefährliche Ursachen ausgeschlossen werden und andere differenzialdiagnostisch in Frage kommende Ursachen für einen plötzlichen Bewusstseinsverlust bedacht werden.
