Seizure and Bilateral External Jugular Vein Distention: A Rare Manifestation of Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection.

Introduction: Seizure as a sole sign of Stanford Type A aortic dissection (AAD) is mentioned in the medical literature. In this case, AAD was manifested by external bilateral jugular vein distention and generalized seizure.

Patients And Methods: A 47-year-old woman presented to the Emergency Department with convulsions in the upper and lower extremities.

Hyperkalaemia mimics pseudostemi infarct pattern.

Hyperkalaemia is an electrolyte abnormality that warrants urgent intervention and has well-recognised electrocardiographic changes. Peaking T wave is the most appreciated ECG sign, but hyperkalaemia manifesting electrocardiographically as acute ischemia with ST segment elevation is a very rare condition. We present a case of acute kidney injury, complicated by severe hyperkalaemia causing ST segment elevation changes in ECG simulating acute myocardial infarction.
