A 56-year-old woman presented with general fatigue, dyspnea on exercise, and hepatomegaly subsequent to secondary implantation of a pacemaker. On admission, cardiac echo examination showed tricuspid valve regurgitation due to a migrated looped lead. At surgery, there was evidence of severe stenosis at both orifices of the superior and inferior vena cavae due to fibrous tissue around the leads. We removed the fibrous tissue, pacing leads, and generator. New leads were anchored onto the epicardium and a generator was inserted under the rectus muscle. The postoperative course was satisfactory and the symptoms disappeared.
The authors present two patients with medically refractory partial seizures who had invasive recordings with stereotactic depth EEG (SEEG) and subdural electrodes (SDE) as part of their presurgical workup. SDE recordings were falsely lateralizing in both of these patients with pathologically proven mesial temporal sclerosis. In temporal lobe epilepsy, SEEG electrodes should be considered when presurgical studies are discordant.
