ABSTRACT
At present, syncope is still a matter of great concern and anxiety for both parents and children. Neurocardiogenic syncope is the most common type of syncope in children with an incidence of 70%. It usually has a benign etiology, with rapid loss of consciousness and spontaneous resolution. In case of neurocardiogenic syncope, it is important to assess the emotional and/or adaptive capacity of the patient. From a psychological point of view, the presence of a traumatic area of development has been reported in pediatric patients with syncope. This area is characterized by symptoms of anxiety and/or depression, self-withdrawal, somatic complaints and dissociation. Neurocardiogenic syncope in pediatric age can be the expression of a psychosomatic disorder underlying psychopathological vulnerability.
