Cardiac arrhythmias can mimic epilepsy symptoms. Two cases highlight Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and atrioventricular block presenting as suspected epilepsy, emphasizing the need for ECG and Holter monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Epilepsy diagnosis can be challenging.
  • Cardiac arrhythmias are sometimes misdiagnosed as seizures.

Observation:

  • Two patients presented with suspected epilepsy.
  • One patient had grand mal epilepsy and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
  • Another patient, initially suspected of epilepsy, was diagnosed with third-degree atrioventricular block.

Findings:

  • Cardiac arrhythmias, specifically Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and third-degree atrioventricular block, can present with seizure-like symptoms.
  • Diagnostic evaluation for suspected epilepsy should include cardiac assessment.

Implications:

  • Considering cardiac arrhythmias in epilepsy evaluations can prevent misdiagnosis.
