Abstract
Transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) is a common presentation to emergency departments and may be due to syncope or epileptic seizures. The distinction between both entities can be challenging. This case illustrates the need for a multidisciplinary team approach in TLOC to avoid misdiagnosis leading to improper treatment.
