Micturition syncope: an atypical case

Urology. 1986 Apr;27(4):354-5. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(86)90313-4.

Abstract

A forty-nine-year-old man had episodes of micturition syncope associated with an asymptomatic urinary tract infection. Treatment of the infection resolved the syncopal episodes. Micturition syncope occurs in the standing position; physical, electrocardiographic, and electroencephalographic studies usually have normal results. The case reported here is atypical in that micturition syncope was the only apparent symptom of urinary tract infection.
