Abstract
A 17-year-old boy who lost consciousness during wrestling matches was found to have carotid sinus syndrome. To our knowledge, this report is only the second published case of this entity in an adolescent. Herein we discuss possible implications of this finding for the assessment of syncope in pediatric patients.
