Dislodgment of pacemaker electrode simulating focal motor seizure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The unusual finding of dislocation of the electrode of a pacemaker in a patient caused repetitive twitching of the right leg. Initial confusion with focal motor seizure resulted in the administration of antiepileptic medication. Malposition of the electrode was confirmed by appropriate roentgenographic studies, and subsequent repositioning terminated the episode.

The effects of acute responsive high frequency stimulation of the subiculum on the intra-hippocampal kainic acid seizure model in rats
The effects of acute responsive high frequency stimulation (HFS) to the subiculum on seizures and interictal spikes were investigated in a semi-acute kainic acid (KA) induced seizure model in rats. Wistar rats (n = 15) were implanted with an electrode-cannula complex in the CA3 area, stimulation and recording electrodes in the subiculum and another recording electrode at the contralateral motor...
متن کاملSustained focal cortical compression reduces electrically-induced seizure threshold.
Brain injury can often result in the subsequent appearance of seizures, suggesting an alteration in neural excitability associated with the balance between neuronal excitation and inhibition. The process by which this occurs has yet to be fully elucidated. The specific nature of the changes in excitation and inhibition is still unclear, as is the process by which the seizures appear following i...

Although children with epilepsy exhibit numerous neurological and cognitive deficits, the mechanisms underlying these impairments remain unclear. Synchronization of oscillatory neural activity in the gamma frequency range (>30 Hz) is purported to be a mechanism mediating functional integration within neuronal networks supporting cognition, perception and action. Here, we tested the hypothesis t...
متن کاملIctal asystole with convulsive syncope mimicking secondary generalisation: a depth electrode study.
Ictal bradycardia is rare and its localising value is debated. Bradyarrhythmias are, however, important because of their potential connection to sudden death and ability to affect clinical seizure manifestations. Cerebral hypoperfusion induces loss of consciousness, at times with myoclonic jerks, whose clinical differentiation from a generalised convulsive seizure may prove difficult. Two invas...
متن کاملCardiac asystole during a temporal lobe seizure
The association between temporal lobe seizures and cardiac arrhythmias has been anecdotally reported in the literature. Ictal bradycardia and cardiac asystole are rare, and maybe underestimated. The physiological mechanism is poorly understood. We report a patient with left temporal lobe seizures who developed ictal bradycardia and cardiac asystole during a complex partial seizure and required ...
