Unusual lead helix damage due to ‘Selective’ Reel syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oblivious manipulation of the device by the patient is referred to as "Twiddler's" syndrome. It is characterized by the coiling of the pacemaker lead due to the rotation of the pacemaker generator on its long axis. However, the rotation of the pacemaker generator on its transverse axis with subsequent coiling of the pacemaker leads around the pulse generator is called as ''Reel syndrome''. In this case, we present a 69-year-old patient with 'selective' Reel syndrome and postulate the possible explanation for damaged atrial lead.

Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disease due to impaired collagen metabolism. Joint hypermobility and skin hyper extensibility are the major findings. Six types of EDS are recognized. Type I or Gravis type is characterized by skin hyperextensibility, joint hypermobility, skin splitting autosoml dominancy inheritance, preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) an...
متن کاملReel Syndrome--A Variety of Twiddler's Syndrome.
Reel syndrome is an uncommon condition in which a patient's subconscious, inadvertent, or deliberate external manipulation of their cardiac pacemaker results in the movement of the transducer wires along its transverse axis. We report a clinical case of a 67 year old lady with permanent pacemaker presenting with pacemaker malfunction and was detected with reel syndrome.
