Dinner table syncope, epigastric pain and intracranial hemorrhage unveils the hidden danger
This 58-year-old male patient with no prior medical or surgical history (no medication, no substance abuse) was sitting at dinner with his wife, when he suddenly felt epigastric pain and upon standing up, lost consciousness, fell and hit his head on the floor. He regained consciousness upon arrival of the ambulance and, except for disorientation, was neurologically not impaired.
