Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the etiological factors and clinical characteristics of syncope in childhood. In this study 44 children presented with syncope were investigated prospectively. Twenty nine cases (65.9%) were diagnosed as vasovagal syncope based on clinical history and physical examination, and 16 of those (55.2%) had a positive Tilt test. Six patients (13.6%) had atonic convulsions compatible with clinical and EEG findings. Eleven percent of the children (five patients) had no organic or functional abnormalities and were diagnosed as psychogenic pseudosyncope. Only 6.8% (three patients) of patients had cardiogenic syncope (two mitral valv prolapsus, one prolonged QT syndrome). Most cases (thirty patients, 68.2%) were adolescent females and the most prevelant form was vasovagal syncope (65.9%). In conclusion it was noteworthy that psychogenic pseudosyncope was common in midadolesance, especially in females

Özet

Bu çalışmada, çocukluk çağı senkop vakalarında, etiyolojik faktörler ve klinik özelliklerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Toplam bir yıllık süre içerisinde (Şubat 2P03-Ocak 2004) hastanemiz poliklinik ve acil servislerinde senkop tanısı alan 44 çocuk prospektif olarak incelendi. Vakaların 29'u (%65.9) öykü ve fizik bakı bulguları ile vazovagal senkop tanısı aldı ve bu vakaların 16'sında (%55.2) Tilt testi pozitif bulundu. Toplam 6 hasta ("/öl3.6), klinik ve elektroensefalografi bulguları ile atonik nöbet olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların %11.3'ünde (5 hasta) klinik ve laboratuar bulgularla organik veya fonksiyonel bir patoloji saptanmadı ve psikojenik psödosenkop tanısı kondu. Tüm vakaların %6.8'i (3 hasta) kardiyojenik senkop tanısı aldı. Bu vakaların ikisinde mitral valv prolapsusu, bir vakada uzun QT sendromu saptandı. Senkop tanısı alan hastaların 30'u (%68.2) adölesan dönemdeki kız cocuklariydi. Sonuç olarak, en sık senkop nedeni vazovagal senkop (%65.9) iken, yaş ilerledikçe özellikle adölesan dönemdeki kız çocuklarında psikojenik psödosenkop sıklığı dikkat çekiciydi.
