Abstract

We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with frequent episodes of loss of consciousness. The patient was submitted to head-up tilt testing that evoked a prolonged asystole associated with sphincteric incontinence and loss of urine. The patient was treated with dual-chamber pacemaker implantation; at a follow-up of 18 months no other episodes of syncope had occurred.
