Differentiating between syncope and epileptic seizures can be challenging when a specific medical history is not available. We herein report a 70s man who exhibited recurrent, brief unresponsiveness while at rest on five occasions over a year. While there were no convulsions, the patient consistently reported urinary incontinence. These events were preceded by an epigastric rising sensation without chest symptoms, suggesting a possible diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy, and subsequent EEG revealed temporal semi-rhythmic delta activity. In contrast, the ECG revealed a left bundle branch block, while the initial Holter ECG showed no abnormalities. However, subsequent follow-up examinations revealed a complete atrioventricular block necessitating permanent pacemaker implantation. It is important to exercise caution in the interpretation of EEG findings. Moreover, instances of 'urinary incontinence without convulsion' may indicate non-epileptic events.
