Dislodgment of pacemaker electrode simulating focal motor seizure

E Catherwood, MK Elzawahry, MN Kotler and A Adam

Initial confusion with focal motor seizure resulted in the administration of antiepileptic medication. Malposition of the electrode was confirmed by appropriate roentgenographic studies, and subsequent repositioning terminated the episode.
