Abstract
Introduction A 55 year old female with a past medical history significant for seizure, spina bifida status post ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, and chronic respiratory failure with chronic tracheostomy on home trilogy ventilator presented with seizurelike activity and dysphagia. Patient was not on any antiepileptic drugs and she did not have seizure for a few years. Electroencephalography revealed no electrographic seizures or interictal epileptiform activity. Head CT showed significant dilatation of the lateral and third ventricles (FIGURES 1 and 2). Further history Xiaoliang (Shawn) Qiu & Fuad M Zeid
