Key Words	Twiddler’s syndrome; Defibrillator; Complication; Malfunction; Lead dislodgement
Core Tip	Our case points out few unique points to be remembered in regards to Twiddler’s syndrome: (1) Twiddler’s syndrome can present without any symptoms. Our case was diagnosed with the help of gradually increasing lead impedance. Ours is the first reported case of such a unique presentation; (2) Twiddler’s syndrome, although more common in first few months of implantation, can present very late; and (3) frequent monitoring of permanent pacemaker/automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator is always needed.
