Bilateral occipital lobe infarction with altitudinal field loss following radiofrequency cardiac catheter ablation
BACKGROUND Bilateral stroke following radiofrequency catheter ablation is an unusual complication and may result in bilateral altitudinal visual field defects. Bilateral altitudinal visual field defects usually result from prechiasmal pathology causing damage to both retinas or optic nerves and rarely from bilateral symmetric damage to the post chiasmal visual pathways. CASE PRESENTATION A 48...
متن کاملDelayed Hemichorea Following Temporal–Occipital Lobe Infarction
The presence of hemichorea associated with a lesion in the cortex is exceedingly rare. We report a case of a 62-year-old female who developed delayed left hemichorea after an ischemic infarct in the right temporal–occipital lobe. This case is unique because of the location of infarct and expands our knowledge of hemichorea arising after an ischemic stroke. A 62-year-old female patient was initi...
متن کاملCooled Radiofrequency Ablation for Bilateral Greater Occipital Neuralgia
This report describes a case of bilateral greater occipital neuralgia treated with cooled radiofrequency ablation. The case is considered in relation to a review of greater occipital neuralgia, continuous thermal and pulsed radiofrequency ablation, and current medical literature on cooled radiofrequency ablation. In this case, a 35-year-old female with a 2.5-year history of chronic suboccipital...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia after myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND Patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) after myocardial infarction often have multiple morphologies of inducible VT, which complicates mapping and is viewed by some as a relative contraindication to ablation. Attempting to identify and target a single "clinical" VT is often limited by inability to obtain 12-lead ECGs of VTs that are terminated emergently or by defibrillators. Thi...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial flutter following orthotopic heart transplantation.
A 26 year old woman with a diagnosis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy and peripartum cardiomyopathy underwent orthotopic heart transplantation using standard atrial anastomoses. Recurrent atrial flutter was demonstrated in the absence of histological evidence of cellular rejection. Radiofrequency ablation of the flutter circuit was successfully performed allowing the avoidance of long term ant...
