Cardiac arrest due to partial epileptic seizures.

Liedholm LJ, Gudjonsson O.

Department of Clinical Neurophysiology, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden.

The clinical distinction between cardiovascular and epileptic causes of loss of consciousness is sometimes difficult, but becomes more complicated when a primary epileptic seizure secondarily causes a cardiac arrest. This has been reported previously in only eight patients. We report an additional patient with cardiac arrest during a mesiobasal left temporal lobe seizure discharge.
