Ictal dancing is a very rare seizure semiology. Five cases have been previously reported in the literature [1–4]. Even though one case report investigated with stereo-encephalography (SEEG) showing intracranial ictal EEG change arising from right prefrontal region, particularly right dorsolateral prefrontal area in patients with ictal singing associated with dancing, underlying mechanisms and t...

The patient, a 24-year-old man, had suffered from hunger, sweating, tachycardia and palpitation for three years. He was diagnosed as having Graves' disease (GD) and treated with methimazole (MMI) for 3 months. He noted that palpitation and perspiration seemed to particularly occur when he was hungry, and thus he was examined to determine whether these symptoms were caused by hypoglycemia. As a ...

We report a patient who was admitted to the department of medicine with palpitation, dyspnea and left flank pain, Chest X-ray revealed a mass in the left lung. The lesion was evaluated as a pulmonary tumor, with a high suspicion of malignancy. Intravenous urography, sonography, and CTscanning revealed a thoracic kidney at the location previously thought to be a lung mass. This is the firs...

Evidence of dual atrioventricular nodal pathwats (a sudden jump in H1-H2 at critical A1-A2 coupling intervals) was shown in 41 out of 397 patients studied with atrial extrastimulus techniques. In 27 of these 41, dual pathways were demonstrable during sinus rhythm, or at a cycle length close to sinus rhythm (CL1). In the remaining 14, dual pathways were only demonstrated at a shorter cycle lengt...

BACKGROUND There are very limited published studies in Nigeria on the use of 24 hour Holter electrocardiogram (Holter ECG) in the arrhythmic evaluation of hypertensive and diabetic patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate indications, arrhythmic pattern of Holter ECG, and heart rate variability (HRV) among patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD) with or without heart failure and type 2 diabetes...

OBJECTIVE To establish whether an association exists between blood pressures in the "low normal" range and common symptoms such as tiredness, dizziness, headache, and palpitation, as suggested by French and German medical practice but not English or American medical practice. DESIGN Cross sectional population based survey (the health and lifestyle survey) of blood pressure measurements and se...

INTRODUCTION Hydatid cysts are most commonly found in the liver and lungs but they are rarely found in pericardium. CASE PRESENTATION We present a rare case of isolated hydatid cyst in pericardium of heart of a 70 year old female presented in casualty with unusual features like, dyspnea, palpitation and chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome. DISCUSSION Hydatid cyst in Pericardium rep...

UNLABELLED Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a complication of underlying vascular thrombosis. The causes of PE are multi-factorial, and patients with PE present with various symptoms. We herein have presented the case of a 21-year-old man who initially developed palpitation, dyspnea, and seizure. Computed tomography of the chest ultimately indicated PE, and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) was diagnos...

A 50-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department due to new episode of palpitation. He had history of angioplasty of right coronary artery (RCA) with drug eluting stent 2 years ago. His electrocardiogram revealed atrial fibrillation (AF). Intravenous amiodarone 150 mg during 10 minutes and then 1 mg/min infusion were started to achieve rate control and pharmacologic conversion to sinu...
