Twiddler's syndrome is a rare complication after pacemaker implantation usually caused by patient manipulation with generator. We describe a case of 70-year-old female patient with pacemaker who was admitted to the neurological clinic with syncope and suspicion for neurological disease. After neurological diagnostic tests that were negative and consultation with a cardiologist, Twiddler's syndrome was diagnosed.
旋弄综合征是起搏器植入术后一种罕见的并发症,通常由患者对起搏器发生器进行摆弄所致。我们描述了一例70岁植入起搏器的女性患者,她因晕厥入住神经科门诊,起初怀疑患有神经系统疾病。在神经系统诊断检查结果为阴性并咨询心脏病专家后,确诊为旋弄综合征。
