Abstract
- Episodes of loss of consciousness occur in various situations. Although cough syncope has been recognized and described over a hundred years ago, this condition remains a fascinating and incompletely understood clinical entity. In the present case, syncope sometimes occurred during vigorous paroxysms of non-productive coughing that were due to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
