    We report on a 10-month-old boy who had an ischemic cerebellar stroke, secondary to antiphospholipid syndrome with high titers of immunoglobulin G anti-2GPI (first titer: 132U) anticardiolipin antibodies and lupus anticoagulant tests were negative. All other causes of infarction were excluded. To ou...

    Neurocardiogenic syncope is induced by a hyperrecruitment of parasympathetic nerve tone elicited by emotional stress or pain. The presence of a transient loss of consciousness associated with involuntary motor activity or with urinary incontinence and the misinterpretation of anamnestic data or of e...
