Seckel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by facial dysmorphic features known as bird-headed dwarfism. Only about 100 cases have been reported. Cardiac anomalies have been described as a potential association with Seckel syndrome. We report a 21-year-old woman with Seckel syndrome and epilepsy who presented with status epilepticus. She was hypotensive and bradycardic. Her electrocardiogram showed complete heart block. She was placed on transcutaneous pacer with no response. A transvenous pacemaker was placed before inserting a suitable permanent pacemaker for her size. This is the third case of complete heart block associated with Seckel syndrome and raises concern about the potential association.
塞克尔综合征是一种罕见的常染色体隐性疾病，其特征为面部畸形，即鸟头样侏儒症。仅报告了约100例病例。心脏异常被描述为与塞克尔综合征可能存在关联。我们报告了一名患有塞克尔综合征和癫痫的21岁女性，她出现了癫痫持续状态。她血压低且心动过缓。她的心电图显示完全性心脏传导阻滞。给她使用了经皮起搏器，但无反应。在为她植入适合其体型的合适永久性起搏器之前，先放置了经静脉起搏器。这是第三例与塞克尔综合征相关的完全性心脏传导阻滞病例，引发了对这种潜在关联的关注。
