tetralogy of fallot/癲癇性発作

We present a case of schizophrenia comorbid for tetralogy of Fallot, without chromosome 22q.11.2 deletion or duplication, treated successfully with a combination of clozapine and antiepileptic drugs. Although clozapine by itself initially triggered convulsive seizures, we continued it with

Electroencephalograms were recorded of 135 children with TOF. They were normal in 51%, slightly disturbed in one-third, and severe disorders were seen in 16% of patients. Although not statistically significant, cyanotic spells tend to be associated with more severe impairment of the bioelectrical

Background: The long waiting time for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) operation may potentially increase the risk of hypoxic insult. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the frequency of acute neurological complications

The authors report the case of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) associated with situs inversus, the first description of this rare association in a previously asymptomatic adult. A 32 years old chauffeur was admitted to hospital with pyrexia and convulsions due to a left temporo-parietal cerebral abscess

Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite being associated with significant neurological sequelae in infected infants, it remains an under-recognized public health entity. Symptomatic newborns most frequently display

Objective: To evaluate the perioperative tranexamic acid (TXA) on blood conservation in pediatric patients undergoing complete repair for tetralogy of fallot (TOF) and its impact on short-term or long-term adverse event and mortality. Methods: The study was a retrospective cohort

We report a rare case with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) who presented serious intracerebral haematomas. In the literature, this is the first documented case having these complications simultaneously. Extreme hypoxic insults followed by recovery were

We evaluated the surgical results of the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (MBTS), performed with a prosthesis of microknitted Dacron, for the ductus-dependent tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) in early infancy. Nine MBTSs for eight patients, 4 with and 4 without pulmonary atresia, were performed, and one

OBJECTIVE In symptomatic patients, performing a primary repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), irrespective of age or placing a shunt, remains controversial. The aim of the study was to analyse the policy of primary correction. METHODS Between May 2005 and May 2012, a total of 87 consecutive patients

BACKGROUND Few data are available on the neuropsychological, behavioural, or structural brain imaging outcomes in adolescents who underwent corrective surgery in infancy for tetralogy of Fallot. METHODS In this single-centre cross-sectional study, we enrolled 91 adolescents (13-16 years old) with

We describe a neurologically compromised infant with tetralogy of Fallot who was having multiple paroxysmal episodes of hypotonia, eye rolling, stiffening, and loss of consciousness. Simultaneous electroencephalography with video monitoring was used to determine if these episodes were a primary

Pediatric stroke is an uncommon entity. A risk factor is present in almost half of the children at the time of stroke. The most common cause of stroke in children is probably congenital heart disease. Other risk factors include sickle cell disease, infections, and various prothrombotic conditions.

A case of 7-year-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot associated with DiGeorge syndrome was reported. He had been diagnosed as cardio-facial syndrome with hypoparathyroidism because of hypocalcemia, convulsion, cardiac defect and the characteristic face. But immunologic study showed hypofunction of
