ABSTRACT |
Exploding head syndrome (EHS) is a rare syndrome experienced with explosive noise happening in a head. A 78 year old man visited for intractable headache with explosive noises. His vieo-electroencephalography monitoring showed tachy-brady arrhythmia on electrocardiogram. We diagnosed as a sick sinus syndrome (SSS) presented with EHS. We suggest SSS should be considered with the elderly patients who have EHS symptom. |
