Is amnesia for loss of consciousness common in vasovagal syncope?
Amnesia for loss of consciousness is common in VVS. Although more prevalent, it is not unique to older age-groups. Absence of syncope associated bradycardia during HUT testing predicts for A-LOC.
PJS patients carry a high cumulative intussusception risk at young age. Intussusceptions are generally caused by polyps>15 mm and treatment is mostly surgical. These results support the approach of enteroscopic surveillance, with removal of small-intestinal polyps>10-15 mm to prevent intussusceptions. The effect of such an approach on the incidence of intussusception remains to be established in prospective trials.
