Description
Summary:Funny turns in children are common and usually triggered by a benign cause. There is a wide range of possible pathologies underlying these episodes. Many children will only be looked after by their GP but some complex cases may be managed by a number of different specialities including general paediatrics, paediatric neurology, paediatric cardiology and the ear, nose and throat department. This article aims to outline a primary care approach to a child presenting with a funny turn to enable appropriate reassurance or referral to the appropriate specialty.
