چکیده
Attacks of dizziness and syncope have been relatively common features in the recorded cases of primary intracardiac tumour and of intracardiac ball thrombus (Wood, 1814; von Recklinghausen, 1885; Schwarz and Biloon, 1931; Gorlitzer, 1934; Elson, 1934; Fawcett and Ward, 1939; Garvin, 1941; Wright, Flynn, and Druet, 1944; Burnett and Davidson, 1945; Evans and Benson, 1948). Actual epileptiform convulsions have been mentioned only by McLeod (1883) and Young and Hunter (1947). The patient described here was first seen by one of us because she had had a number of generalized fits occurring during the course of a prolonged and unexplained febrile illness.
