Toux suivie de perte de connaissance. Celle-ci est tantôt liée à un collapsus expiratoire, tantôt la conséquence d'une augmentation des pressions du liquide céphalorachidien et des veines jugulaires responsables, par la diminution du retour veineux et du débit cardiaque, d'une chute de la pression artérielle. 2, record 1, French, - toux%20syncopale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'appellation ictus laryngé, souvent employée pour désigner une syncope survenant après une quinte de toux, est abusive. En effet, le nom d'ictus est habituellement réservé aux manifestations apoplectiques et il s'agit ici de perte de connaissance brève sans séquelle. De plus, l'étiologie laryngée vraie semble très loin d'être fréquente. 3, record 1, French, - toux%20syncopale
