Sino-atrial arrest due to temporal lobe epilepsy.
A case of sino-atrial arrest due to temporal lobe epilepsy is described and compared with previously documented such cases in the literature. The rarity of bradycardias and sinus arrest due to arrhythmogenic seizures is discussed, as is the role of prospective ambulatory electroencephalographic and electrocardiographic studies in evaluating this association.
