Abstract EN
Most isolated episodes of apparent life-threatening events (ALTEs) do not lead to the diagnosis of serious conditions, and their prognoses are generally benign.
However, recurrent ALTEs are often associated with a risk of future serious adverse events and should be evaluated for appropriate management.
Here we present ALTE case in which gastric volvulus associated gastroesophageal reflux disease was detected as an etiology initially, followed by the detection of epilepsy as another etiology.
Clinicians should consider possibility of two or more etiologies in a single recurrent ALTE case.
