Nonepileptic seizures are rare complication after general anesthesia. Postoperative seizure-induced oxidative stress promotes acute catecholamine toxicity of the myocardium. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy may be more frequent in the perioperative setting than commonly appreciated. We report a case of
A 59-year-old woman was admitted for consciousness disturbance. She had a history of endocranial operation for astrocytoma. Her electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation indicative of acute myocardial infarction. Emergency coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries, whereas left
A 68-year-old woman was admitted for symptomatic seizure. She had a history of cerebral infarction in the right fronto-temporal lobes, and was medicated for the symptomatic seizure with valproic acid. Her electrocardiogram(EEG)showed ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, aVF, and V2-V6. Emergency
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a transient left-ventricular dysfunction that typically occurs in elderly women due to emotional or physical stress. An 85-y-old woman underwent flexible bronchoscopy to evaluate her malignant lymphoma. After flexible bronchoscopy, she experienced takotsubo cardiomyopathy
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle and changes of electrocardiographic or cardiac markers, resembling an acute coronary syndrome. Although the etiology of TTC is still unknown, a wide variability in the psychological and physical
BACKGROUND
Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) is characterized by biphasic seizures and impaired consciousness. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), which is typically triggered by psychological or physical stress, is characterized by transient myocardial
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our department for consciousness disturbance with generalized clonic seizure. She had a history of complex partial seizure with automatism 3 years previously, but had not received any antiepileptic drug therapy. On admission, she was unconscious with a Japan Coma
BACKGROUND
Takotsubo syndrome is a reversible neuromyocardial failure that has been thought to be related to an acute catecholamine toxicity of the myocardium brought upon by a stressful event. The neurocritical care unit population is particularly vulnerable for this condition given the acute
