Abstract:
We report the case of a 21 year old man with bradycardia and asystolia after a seizure. No cardiac disease could be demonstrated, but electroencephalography after sleep deprivation showed the presence of a temporal irritative focus. The importance of differential diagnosis between cardiogenic syncope and loss of consciousness due to epilepsy is discussed.
