For clarity and expertise in unexplained “funny turns”: faints, blackouts, dizzy spells, collapses, falls and seizures. |
|
Welcome to our website... |
|
We are a group of consultant physicians based at Wexham Park Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Berkshire UK and Charing Cross Hospital London available for private consultations at Princess Margaret Hospital in Windsor, Bridge Clinic in Maidenhead and Spire Hospital in Gerrards Cross. Our primary specialty area is unexplained blackouts in adults. They are a heterogeneous group of disorders manifesting as transient loss of consciousness (TLOC), collapses, seizures, vacant episodes, periods of confusion, faints, or unexplained falls in the elderly which are commonly referred to as “Funny Turns”. The differential diagnosis of episodes of TLOC can be straightforward (as in a simple faint) but can also present some of the greatest diagnostic difficulties. Where there is uncertainty about the precise cause of the blackout, rigorous investigation is justified since both undiagnosed cardiac syncope and untreated epilepsy may be life-threatening. Where there is diagnostic difficulty, the assessment requires expert neurological and cardiac investigations, including Echocardiography, ambulatory cardiac monitoring, EEG, brain imaging and Tilt Testing.
