Syncope in a 3-year-old male: A case report / 世界急诊医学杂志（英文）

ABSTRACT

@#Syncope is a common presenting complaint in pediatric emergency departments. The differential diagnosis of syncope is vast, including various neurological and cardiac conditions. Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a primary inherited arrhythmia which can present with syncope but can lead to sudden cardiac deaths due to ventricular fi brillation. BrS is a rare genetic condition, often diagnosed in the adulthood. BrS presenting in childhood, especially symptomatic BrS, is extremely rare. We present a case of a previously healthy 3-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with syncope and was later diagnosed with BrS.
