Abstract

The results of studying paroxysmal consciousness disorders among aviation personnel are presented. Of 137 episodes documented over 10 years of observation, epileptic seizure was diagnosed in 28%, fainting in 57% and paroxysmal brain bioelectrical activity without loss of consciousness in 15% cases. Comprehensive analysis pinpointed clinical signs, instrumental findings, and major etiological factors provoking loss of consciousness paroxysms that include various somatic disorders, intoxication, cerebral injury, etc.
