Convulsive syncope

Syncopal episodes may be followed by myoclonus or synchronous or asynchronous jerking. In this video a young woman has a syncopal event elicited by hyperventilation and rapid standing in a controlled environment. Not relatively short duration of the spell and lack of a tonic phase and a clonic phase. The video shows somewhat of an exaggerated event than is usually seen.
