21
Syncope “Yun-Jue ( 晕厥 )”
In the erect position, consciousness is lost when the
mean arterial pressure declines to 20–30 mmHg or
when the heart stops for 4–5 seconds.
In the horizontal position, more extreme conditions
can be tolerated. The patient may complain of “weak
spells,” “light-headedness,” or “blackouts.”
A careful history must be obtained from both the
patient and witnesses. The history and initial
physical exam are of the greatest usefulness in
establishing a specific etiology.
22
Syncope “Yun-Jue ( 晕厥 )”
Themost common cause of syncope is the
vaso-vagal, or vasodepressor, faint.
Other considerations are cardiac
dysrhythmias (Adams-Stokes attacks, either
tachy-or bradycardia), seizure, anaphylaxis,
autonomic dysfunction with orthostatic
hypotension, pulmonary embolism, aortic
stenosis, and cerebrovascular disease.
23
Basic Principles for Identifying Coma Causes
25
2. Headache
Mechanisms
Vascular factor: extra-intracranial vascular
contraction (spasm), dilation or stretch
Irritation or stretch of meninges
26
2. Headache
Mechanisms (continued)
Chemical factors, endocrinal disorders and
psychogenic factors: in general via vascular factor
Ophthalmic, rhinologic, otologic disorders, or even
stomatologic disorders (i.e. temporomandibular
joint disease) may cause headache via different
mechanisms.
From the mechanisms: evident that all extracranial
and intracranial tissues disorders, including neck,
and non-nervous system, may cause headache.

• Visual disturbances
• cerebral symptoms
• Dizziness of even vertigo,
• Mood, and sleep disturbances.

Introduction
Puzzle !
• Dizziness
- Dear doctor
• Vertigo , I am dizzy!
• Lightheadedness- Me, too.
• Giddiness • 头晕
• Disequilibrium • 眩晕
[disikwi’libriėm]
真性,假性
• 头昏
Jinan University Guangzhou, 暨南大学 37
3-1 Classification
• Many disorders in the realms of neurology,
otolaryngology, cardiology, ophthalmology,
psychiatry, and medicine may lead to the
complaint of dizziness ( 头昏 / 头晕 / 眩晕 ).
• Very unpleasant or disabling, and sometimes
heralds the onset of potentially serious diseases:
worry about it! Not only the patients.
• A systematic approach is necessary to reach the
correct diagnosis.
from MA Samuels: Manual of neurologic therapeutics with essentials
of diagnosis, 3rd Edition, Little, Brown and Company 38
3-1-1 Vertigo (眩晕,真性眩晕) ****
An illusion or movement of the patients or his
or her surroundings
• Rotating, spinning, tilting, or swaying
Autonomic symptoms (nausea, vomiting,
depression), disequilibrium, and nystagmus (A
rapid, involuntary, oscillatory motion of the
eyeball)
Implying PNS & CNS pathways of the vestibular
system ( including central & peripheral vertigos)
39
3-1-2 Disequilibrium ****
40
3-1-3 Syncope ( 晕厥 ) or
presyncope***
a sense of impending loss of consciousness
or fainting
With diaphoresis, nausea, apprehension,
and transient bilateral visual loss
Insufficient Cerebral blood supply
Implying vascular or cardiac dysfunction
Entirely different from vertigo
41
3-1-4 ill-defined dizziness****
43
3-2 Etiology
• Do you worry about that the cause of the
dizziness is due to a a cardiac or
neurologic cause (dysrhythmia,
cerebrovascular ischemia, or brain
tumor) ? too many disorders !!
• DIZZINESS accounts for an estimated
7,000,000 clinic visits in the United
States each year
44
Peripheral
3-2 Etiology Vertigo****
acoustic neuromas
less commonly posterior fossa tumors
Other central vestibular disorders
MS, migraine, or dizziness with findings indicative of
a central vestibulopathy on neuro-otologic / vestibular
testing.
