sizure like activity after fainting

This may be cheating, as I posted it over in the ER forum, but I figured some folks here might have some insight.



Vasovagal syncope with seizure like activity: Anyody seen it?
In other words, a typical vasovagal trigger, followed by fainting, and tonic movements.

This article claims an 8% incidence rate, and I am wondering if others have seen this. I haven't.

In a 6-year study conducted by investigators at Northwestern University, up to 8% of patients with vasovagal syncope displayed seizure-like activity when they lost consciousness during a tilt table study. These patients underwent extensive neurological evaluations including EEG (electroencephalogram - a study of the electrical signals produced by the brain), CAT scans, and MRI scans, and none proved to have evidence of a true seizure disorder. Their seizure-like movements during syncope are apparently caused by temporary but extremely low blood pressure during the syncopal episode.
