A 26-year-old woman with recurrent loss of consciousness.

Mark R Benson1, Vikas Kotagal, Hakan Oral.   

Abstract

The case of a 26-year-old woman with congenital long QT syndrome and recurrent arrhythmic syncope which had been misdiagnosed as a seizure disorder is presented. Useful criteria for discriminating between loss of consciousness due to congenital long QT syndrome and loss of consciousness caused by seizure activity are discussed. The multiple potential causes and clinical implications of a prolonged QT interval, as well as the clinical features and management of congenital long QT syndrome are reviewed.
