Patients presenting with loss of consciousness and convulsion are often diagnosed with epilepsy despite normal EEGs. In patients presenting with recurrent seizures with unclear diagnosis of epilepsy or in a situation of drug-resistant epilepsy, syncope diagnosis should always be considered and a risk stratification is necessary. The benefit of pacemaker implantation in patients with recurrent vaso-vagal syncope is still very controversial. Only patients presenting with spontaneous asystole should be considered for pacemaker implantation in case of recurrent vaso-vagal syncope.
