Hi,
Your father had sudden loss of consciousness of 2 minutes duration associated with sphincter incontinence( stool and urine incontinence) , I feel its a seizure ( fits) phenomenon than syncope ( sudden unconsciousness with postural tone) Mri brain can be normal in such cases. He requires EEG study and also echo and holter monitoring to confirm with the cause of unconsciousness. treatment depends on further evaluation
