“…In the paediatric population, migraine is the most common reason for syncope [45]. Also among adult females the migraine was associated with syncope [46] and carried a higher risk for ortostatic intolerance [47]. Curfman et al [48] reported that nearly one-third of their recurrent syncope subjects met the criteria for syncopal migraine.…”

“…In a cross-sectional study of 173,434 women hospitalized for syncope, Ulas and colleagues observed an odds ratio of 1.65 for migraine (19). Vallejo et al also found a higher prevalence of migraine (76%) in female subjects with vasovagal syncope (7). Prevalence of migraine was substantially higher in the SH (85%) group than in the S group (61%).…”

“…Both syncope and migraine are highly prevalent in the general population and co-occur more often than chance would predict. Vallejo and colleagues estimated the frequency of migraine at 52% in a sample of 50 syncope patients (7). In the population-based CAMERA study, Thijs and colleagues demonstrated a significantly higher lifetime prevalence of syncope in 323 patients with migraines compared with 153 control subjects (46% versus 31%, respectively) (8).…”

“…VVS and POTS are the most common types of pediatric NMS ( 1 , 2 ). In recent years, great attention has been paid to the comorbidities of pediatric NMS, such as migraine, mental illness, and chronic fatigue syndrome ( 3 – 5 ). Allergic diseases involving multiple systems, such as asthma (AS) and allergic rhinitis (AR) in the respiratory system and atopic dermatitis in skin, are prevalent in childhood.…”

Neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is the most common underlying disease of pediatric syncope, which generally includes vasovagal syncope (VVS), postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and situational syncope. Allergic diseases involving the respiratory system, digestive system, skin, and other systems are prevalent in children. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to children with the comorbidity of NMS and allergic diseases. This article reviews the featured clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of the comorbidity according to the progress of related studies. Clinical studies have shown that the comorbidity rate of pediatric VVS and/or POTS with allergic diseases amounts to ~30–40%, referring to the whole population of children with VVS and/or POTS. Additionally, children with the comorbidity present some relatively special clinical characteristics. A series of mechanisms or regulatory factors relating to allergies, such as the imbalance of vasoactive elements, dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and autoimmunity may play a role in the development of the comorbidity. Moreover, 90% of children with cough syncope, a type of situational syncope, have a history of asthma, indicating a potential relationship between asthma and NMS. Further studies exploring the clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of the comorbidity are still needed to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of children with NMS.
