Abstract
Neurally mediated syncope is a transient loss of consciousness caused by transient ischemic hypoxia in the brain, which was often accompanied by loss of muscle tone and cannot maintain the posture. It is a common emergency in pediatric clinics. About 15% of children and adolescents have had at least once syncope before IS years old, and syncope accounts for 1 % of all pediatric emergencies. With the introduction of head-up tilt test and diagnostic protocol of syncope in the past 30 years, the proportion of children with unexplained syncope has gradually decreased, but still around 14% children or adolescents with syncope could not be explained, and the pathogenesis of syncope still needs to be further explored. Based on the recent developments in related fields in recent years, this review introduces the epidemiological characteristics, pathogenesis, diagnostic procedures and future research directions of Children's neuro-mediated syncope, with a view to improving clinicians understanding of Children's neuro-mediated syncope and further improving diagnosis and treatment of syncope in China.
