We report two cases who exhibited a decrease in their bispectral index (BIS) score, associated with syncope during venipuncture in patients with suspected needle phobia. In case 1, the reduction in BIS score occurred during the development of hypotension and bradycardia and may well have been caused by cerebral hypoperfusion. In case 2, the patient lost consciousness with decreasing BIS score before hypotension and bradycardia; this patient's condition could not be completely explained by cerebral hypoperfusion as a result of a vasovagal reflex because the patient's blood pressure and heart rate remained normal during the syncopal episode.
