(A) EEG showing right temporal (T4) delta slowing (B) a seizure pattern evolves consisting of rhythmic 3/s activity, no clinical abnormalities (C) 50 s later: ongoing seizure pattern, patient complains an olfactory sensation, bradycardia (D) asystolia, generalised EEG flattening, patient unconscious (E) asystolia ends spontaneously after 23 s, clinically hypoxic myoclonus (F) normalisation of EEG pattern, patient awake.

Planar (123)I metaiodobenzylguanidine scans with low myocardial tracer uptake (heart/ mediastinum ratio 1.6 after 15 min and 1.8 after 4 hours post injection). This is often found in deficient post-ganglionic cardiac catecholamine uptake in idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (left: anterior view; right: posterior view).
