How many of us are aware that syncopal attacks can often be mistaken for epilepsy? One reason for confusion is convulsive syncope, which is when a loss of consciousness is accompanied by jerking of arms, legs and face, as well as other similar symptoms common to both syncope and epilepsy. Misdiagnosis is common but avoidable.
