Fetal seizure is rarely observed. Investigation of both video-recording of seizures and cardiotocography is crucial for a precise diagnosis. Here, we report a case of fetal seizure, and also show a video-ultrasound recording. A 40-year-old woman was admitted to us due to loss of variability in cardiotocography. Ultrasound repeatedly revealed opisthotonus-like and clonic-seizure-like movements. After the abnormal movement, tachycardia up to 210 bpm (postictal tachycardia) was noted. Ultrasound revealed a nuchal cord. A careful investigation of video-ultrasound recording by an epilepsy specialist led to the confirmation of epileptic seizures. At 36 4/7 , she vaginally gave birth to an infant with an umbilical artery pH of 7.22. The infant died 30 min after birth. No clear video-recordings associated with fetal seizure were available for cases reported so far in the literature. The video provided in this case may be of use for further analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
