Abstract

Cardiac dysrhythmia can present signs and symptoms of a seizure disorder and sometimes they are clinically indistinguishable. We present two children with a presumed seizure disorder but also with an underlying and associated cardiac problem. Therefore, we suggest that both conditions must be considered concomitantly, and that each patient with a newly diagnosed seizure disorder requires both neurological and cardiological evaluation.
