ABSTRACT
Syncope is a commonly encountered symptom that accounts for up to 3% of all emergency department visits in the United States [1]. The differential diagnosis for patients presenting with syncope is often broad and can involve multiple distinct organ systems. This case details the hospital course of an 83-year-old male with a complicated past medical history who initially presented for syncope. Following an extensive work up it was eventually elicited that this patient had an unusual etiology of syncope, a 19 cm x 24 cm renal cyst that was compressing the inferior vena cava (IVC).
