N2  - Orthostatic convulsive syncope is defined as a decrease in cerebral blood supply resulting in convulsive, seizure-like symptoms. The authors present the first case report of orthostatic convulsive syncope in a burn patient. There are many causes of transient loss of consciousness in patients. An algorithm is presented to aid in the workup and management strategies for this diagnosis. This approach in conjunction with a neurology consult should add in the assessment and treatment of transient loss of consciousness and orthostatic convulsive syncope in a burn patient.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
