Cardiac arrhythmias during or after epileptic seizures
Seizure-related cardiac arrhythmias are frequently reported and have been implicated as potential pathomechanisms of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). We attempted to identify clinical profiles associated with various (post)ictal cardiac arrhythmias. We conducted a systematic search from the first date available to July 2013 on the combination of two terms: 'cardiac arrhythmias' and ...
متن کاملClinical commentary with video sequences Ictal eructation: a case report
Gastrointestinal symptoms are considered manifestations of ictal phenomena. Eructations are only rarely described. The present case illustrates eructation as an ictal sign in a patient with symptomatic refractory epilepsy and a left temporal lesion submitted to video-EEG monitoring. The ictal EEG reveals a generalized attenuation of background activity followed by a lateralised right anterior t...
متن کاملIctal spitting in left temporal lobe epilepsy: Report of three cases
PURPOSE Ictal spitting is rarely reported in patients with epilepsy. More often it is observed in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and is presumed to be a lateralizing sign to language nondominant hemisphere. We report three patients with left TLE who had ictal spitting registered during prolonged video-EEG monitoring. METHODS Medical charts of all patients with medically refractory...
متن کاملTeaching Video NeuroImages: complex partial seizure evolving into a psychogenic nonepileptic seizure.
An 11-year-old, right-handed girl was admitted for video-EEG monitoring of nocturnal paroxysms consisting of eye opening, groans, right arm shaking, and altered consciousness (see video on the Neurology Web site at www.neurology.org). Ictal video-EEG suggested a left frontal seizure; subsequent behavioral disturbances including dysrhythmic right arm shaking and confusion continued without elect...
متن کاملClinical commentary with video sequences Ictal asystole in temporal lobe epilepsy before and after pacemaker implantation
Events of ictal bradycardia or asystole may be of relevance in epilepsy patients presenting with ictal falls, and are a potential contributor to SUDEP. The literature on ictal bradycardia or asystole is anecdotal and consists of case reports and small case series. There are no guidelines for the care of patients with ictal arrythmias. Insertion of cardiac pacemakers may prevent life-threatening...
