Ictal syncope and isolated syncope may share a common terminal pathway and may have similar presenting symptoms. In patients with known seizure disorder, loss of consciousness may be attributable to epileptic events, ictal syncope, or isolated syncope-which can be difficult to differentiate. This case highlights the ambiguous nature of such episodes and the importance of simultaneous electroencephalogram/electrocardiogram monitoring, as this can have implications on treatment.
