Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Epileptology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Palpitations are commonly linked to cardiac arrhythmias, elevated catecholamines, or psychiatric conditions.
  • A rare cause of palpitations is seizures exhibiting autonomic features.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old male presented with weeks of palpitations, weakness, dizziness, and presyncope.
  • These episodes progressed to loss of consciousness, followed by confusion and tonic movements.

Findings:

  • A low-grade astrocytoma was identified in the right frontal lobe.
  • The patient's symptoms were attributed to focal epilepsy originating from the tumor.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the necessity of a thorough patient history for diagnosing epilepsy.
