TRANSIENT ventricular fibrillation is now one of the well established causes of the Adams–Stokes syndrome. This fact has recently been documented by Robertson and Mathews,§ who thoroughly reviewed the literature from 1917 to 1952. They reported a total of 51 cases of Adams–Stokes syndrome associated with ventricular fibrillation or prefibrillary ventricular tachycardia. The following case again emphasizes the need for electrocardiographic verification of the cardiac mechanism during an Adams–Stokes seizure.Case ReportOn September 17, 1952, a 51-year-old housewife, was taken to the hospital from a physician's office immediately after a syncopal attack with a convulsive seizure.
