We report a rare case of cardioembolic stroke in the setting supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) an infant. After week irritability, 10-week-old male presented to emergency department with SVT requiring treatment adenosine. He developed right-sided hemiparesis and focal motor seizures. Imaging brain showed ischemic infarct left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory. Echocardiogram newly formed large atrial intracardiac thrombus. A coagulopathy workup was negative. treated beta-blocker...
Rationale: Polysomnography (PSG) utilizes abbreviated electroencephalogram (EEG) to stage sleep. The aim of this study was determine whether epileptiform abnormalities on limited EEG coverage correlated with routine (rEEG) and an increased risk for seizures in children without a prior diagnosis epilepsy. Methods: A 6-year retrospective chart review performed assessing during PSG. Children who underwent subsequent rEEG were included; excluded. main outcome measures results epilepsy.Results:...
