Lumboperitoneal shunt in a patient with Behçet's disease with medically refractory intracranial hypertension.

A 21-year-old male presented with severe throbbing headache, nausea, vomiting and progressive visual loss. Clinical examination revealed bilateral papilledema and left abducens nerve palsy. MRI showed findings consistent with dural sinus thrombosis.

Analysis of 24-hour heart rate variations in patients with epilepsy receiving antiepileptic drugs.

Objective: The goal of the study described here was to evaluate interictal heart rate variability (HRV) in young patients with epilepsy, a patient population in whom sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is known to be more common.

Methods: Twenty-four-hour ambulatory ECG Holter recordings of 37 patients (15-40 years old) and 32 healthy controls were compared.

Results: All of the time domain indices (SDNN, SDANN, RMSSD, and HRV triangular index) were significantly suppressed (P<0.

Evaluation of cardiac repolarization indices in well-controlled partial epilepsy: 12-Lead ECG findings.

Purpose: To evaluate the cardiac repolarization indices in terms of QT intervals in patients with well-controlled partial epilepsy.

Methods: Seventy-six adult patients with well-controlled partial epilepsy and 66 healthy controls were enrolled into the study. 12-Lead ECGs were obtained from all participants.
