After a normal pregnancy and labour in a 29-year-old parturient, a single seizure followed by a transient headache was observed during the uterine revision for placental retention. Mild uterine haemorrhage of 150 ml per hour without any uterine atony was associated with activation of clotting and
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially fatal condition. The case is presented of a young woman who presented to the emergency department with first-time seizures. On further investigation and corroborated by post-mortem findings, this was found to be a manifestation of PE. The purpose
OBJECTIVE
To describe for the first time, to our knowledge, a case of recurrent in-flight-dependent seizures related to commercial airline flight in which the patient experienced a fatal air embolism secondary to a giant bronchogenic cyst.

BACKGROUND
Pulmonary embolism is a frequent disorder with a diagnostic approach based on probability estimation. Nevertheless, in some cases, prognosis may be impaired by delayed diagnosis resulting from atypical presenting manifestations.
METHODS
We report a 37-year-old woman, admitted for a
Data regarding the incidence of seizures in patients diagnosed with fat embolism syndrome (FES) are lacking. We examined the incidence of seizures in patients with FES, and the impact of seizures on outcomes over a 10-year period.Using the National A 50-year-old male with sudden syncope and witnessed seizure activity was discovered to have pulmonary emboli. Although he denied shortness of breath, d-dimer testing was positive and a ventilation-perfusion scan was positive for bilateral pulmonary emboli; cardiac ECHO also confirmed elevated right
Two cases are presented of divers suffering epileptic seizure and loss of consciousness as a result of probable cerebral arterial gas embolism (CAGE). Both cases had apparently problem-free dives with no obvious provocation for CAGE, though one case may have been having repeated embolisms for some
Pulmonary embolism can present in various ways, though seizure activity has been rarely reported. We report a 38 years old male who had met a road traffic accident, underwent surgery, presented a month later with seizures, chest pain, shortness of breath and low blood pressure. Massive pulmonary
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a complication of underlying vascular thrombosis. The causes of PE are multi-factorial, and patients with PE present with various symptoms. We herein have presented the case of a 21-year-old man who initially developed palpitation, dyspnea, and seizure. Computed tomography
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical outcome of patients with epileptic seizures due to ischemic stroke (IS) of cardiac or artery-to-artery embolism.
METHODS
Seizures due to IS of cardiac or artery-to-artery embolism are differentiated by clinical, neuroimaging and cardiovascular test data.
RESULTS
From
BACKGROUND
Seizure is estimated to be the presenting symptom of pulmonary embolism (PE) < 1% of the time. A review of the available literature on the subject indicates that many of the reported cases are postmortem findings, and invariably, are examples of delayed diagnosis and
The aim of the present review is to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) which seizures were the first clinical manifestation of the disease.After screening 258 articles in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Two patients with massive pulmonary embolism (PE) presented with generalized seizures. Pathophysiologic abnormalities that explain this clinical syndrome include respiratory acidosis, hypoxemia, and cerebral hypoperfusion due to decreased cardiac output. PE should be considered in the differential
Cerebral embolism originating from the heart accounts for approximately 15 to 20% of ischemic strokes. By far the most important source for cardiac embolism is associated with atrial fibrillation; in these patients immediate anticoagulation with no further echocardiographic diagnostic is
Seizures is a relatively common presentation with a wide differential diagnosis. However, seizures presenting secondary to underlying pulmonary emboli are rare and, without prompt recognition and management, this easily treatable condition can be potentially fatal. The few available case reports
