Rather unusual cause of seizures
A 73-year-old man with a history of hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, atrial fibrillation and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was evaluated for recent episodes of “spells” of aphasia. He was taking metoprolol succinate, diltiazem, apixaban, atorvastatin and omeprazole. Physical examination and a detailed neurological examination were normal. He underwent MR brain and neck angiogram which was unremarkable. Awake and sleep EEG was also normal. Echocardiogra m revealed a normal ejection fraction (63%) without atrial mass or clot.
