Abstract
Twiddler’s syndrome is a rare condition characterized by permanent pacemaker dysfunction due to patient’s own manipulation. It happens knowingly or subconsciously. Twiddler’s syndrome is diagnosed in the first year of implantation. The pacemaker failure is due to lead displacement and loss of ventricular pacing. In this case report we would like to present a case of Twiddler’s syndrome which was diagnosed ten days after pacemaker insertion.
