Abstract

Neurological manifestations such as seizures although rare are well recognized presentations of cardiac arrhythmias. Almost always, such events are primarily generalized in nature leading on to loss of consciousness. Rarely however, cardiac seizures can manifest with focal neurological events. We report a case of a sexagenarian who presented with recurrent focal seizures with secondary generalization, who was misdiagnosed and treated as seizure disorder; only a careful history and focussed investigations helped in realising a precise diagnosis.
