An unusual approach to intractable AVNRT in a pediatric patient

چکیده
Introduction Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the second most frequent form of paroxysmal narrow complex tachycardia in the pediatric population. A conservative approach is used for ablation in children because of anatomical limitations and risks related to a permanent pacemaker in the case of atrioventricular nodal conduction damage. Cryoablation has emerged in the first years of the millennium and propagated thanks to the minimal risk to the native conduction tissue. Many reports in the literature advocate this approach as the gold standard combining high

Hence, we aimed to analyze the patient characteristics, treatment, and any recurrences in pediatric AVNRT patients. Methods We reviewed the records of 50 pediatric AVNRT patients who had undergone radiofrequency cathe...

Intractable epilepsy is a common clinical problem in pediatrics and approximately 13% of children with epilepsy experience intractable seizures. To determine the efficacy of pyridoxine in treating seizures, 30 infants and children with recurrent seizures were enrolled in the present study. All of them were treated with high-dose oral pyridoxine (40 mg/kg/day), as an adjunct to antiepileptic...

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease resulting in destruction of the post-synaptic nicotinic receptors at the neuromuscular junction. Classically, the earliest symptoms of MG are ocular, including ptosis and diplopia. Other less common early symptoms include dysphagia and fatigable chewing. Our case report describes the unusual presentation of MG in a teenager patient and presented f...
متن کاملAn Unusual Presentation of Annular Pancreas: A Case Report
Abstract Annular pancreas (AP) is a rare congenital malformation resulting from failure of pancreas ventral anlage rotation with the duodenum. This leads to a ring of pancreatic tissue that envelops the duodenum. Clinical manifestations of AP most commonly develop in infancy or early childhood but can present at any age. The diagnosis of AP, usually suggested by an upper GI series or abdominal ...
