Syncope occurs frequently in children, and the differential includes situational syncope, specifically micturition syncope. We report the youngest child to our knowledge to have micturition syncope associated with a prolonged asystolic pause. He underwent a neurological and cardiovascular evaluation without additional findings. Behavioural modifications were instituted with no recurrent syncope.
