Twiddler's Syndrome
[Article]
Lesnick, Jason A.; Cooper, Benjamin L.; Doshi, Pratik B.
Twiddler's syndrome refers to a rare condition in which a pacemaker or automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD) malfunctions due to coiling of the device in the skin pocket and resultant lead displacement. This image is the chest radiograph (CXR) of a 54-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with chest pain five months after his AICD was placed. The CXR shows AICD leads coiled around the device and the absence of leads in the ventricle consistent with Twiddler's syndrome. Patients with twiddler's syndrome should be admitted for operative intervention.
