摘要:
Syncope is a rare but known reaction to acupuncture; however, convulsive syncope has never been previously documented as a reaction to acupuncture. This case report describes an episode of convulsive syncope, characterized by irregular clonic-tonic movements while the patient was unconscious. The episode occurred immediately after the insertion of acupuncture needles into the bilateral ST-36 acupuncture point. Here we discuss the presentation, possible causes, and prevention of convulsive syncope.
