A 17-year-old boy presented with recurrent headaches since the age of 7-8. He underwent brain MRI and was initially diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, treated with nasal puncture and traditional Chinese medicine. The headaches were accompanied by vomiting and anorexia, and he was hospitalized due to tachycardia. In the spring of 2017, he was hospitalized five times, treated as if he had myocarditis, and in August 2018, a rapid heart rate induced by a cold led to another hospitalization. He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and treated for it. On January 24, 2019, a follow-up examination showed normal thyroid function, and since the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, his headaches have improved.
Neonatal arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythms that differ from the normal heart rate due to changes in myocardial autonomicity, excitability, and conductivity. These include irregular heart rates or abnormal locations of cardiac electrical activity. Most neonatal arrhythmias are functional, meaning temporary, but in some cases, they can lead to sudden neonatal death. Therefore, we need to closely monitor and actively treat them. Common neonatal arrhythmias include paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, atrial and nodal premature beats, ventricular premature beats, and atrioventricular conduction block.
