Hereditary atrioventricular conduction defects can cause complete heart block in children, sometimes presenting with seizures. Early examination of family members is crucial for identifying potential conduction abnormalities.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Hereditary atrioventricular conduction defects are rare causes of acquired complete heart block in pediatric patients.
  • Complete heart block can present with diverse initial symptoms, including neurological manifestations.

Observation:

  • A familial case of acquired complete heart block is presented, involving a father and son.
  • Both individuals experienced seizures as the primary symptom leading to the diagnosis of complete heart block.

Findings:

  • The study reviews variations of hereditary atrioventricular conduction defects and associated histopathological findings.
  • The father and son required permanent pacemaker implantation due to their condition.

Implications:

  • Screening family members of patients with unexplained acquired heart block is recommended.
  • Early detection of conduction abnormalities can prevent progression to complete heart block and associated complications.
