Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 60-year-old woman with a history of symptomatic seizures secondary to a subarachnoid hemorrhage was admitted to hospital because of a generalized seizure. The following day, her electrocardiogram showed negative T waves in II, III, (a)V(F), and V(2-6), and the echocardiogram showed an impaired left ventricular ejection fraction with ventricular apical akinesia. Head magnetic resonance imaging showed no acute brain injury, but single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) showed hyperperfusion which affected the left temporal cortex in particular. Hyperactivity of the temporal lobe might cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction and might be related to takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
