Abstract :
Convulsive seizures are frequently encountered in daily practice. However, in some clinical situations, the underlying problem
is not related to epilepsy and can be confused with other pathologies; one of such conditions is atrioventricular (AV) blocks.
In Video Electroencephalographic monitorization (VEM), which
is one of the tests used to investigate convulsive attacks, electrocardiography (ECG) recordings are taken simultaneously and
blocks can be detected in rare cases. In this article, we present
an example of such clinical picture.
