Diagnosis of paroxysmal events in epilepsy patients is often made through video-telemetry electroencephalography in the epilepsy monitoring unit. This case report describes the first-ever diagnosis of exploding head syndrome in a patient with longstanding epilepsy and novel nocturnal events. In this report, we describe the presentation of exploding head syndrome and its prevalence and risk factors. In addition, the prevalence of newly diagnosed sleep disorders through video-telemetry electroencephalography in the epilepsy monitoring unit is briefly reviewed. This report also illustrates the novel use of clobazam for the treatment of exploding head syndrome.
癫痫患者阵发性事件的诊断通常通过癫痫监测单元中的视频遥测脑电图来进行。本病例报告描述了首例在患有长期癫痫和新型夜间事件的患者中诊断出爆炸头综合征的情况。在本报告中，我们描述了爆炸头综合征的表现、患病率及其危险因素。此外，还简要回顾了通过癫痫监测单元中的视频遥测脑电图新诊断出的睡眠障碍的患病率。本报告还说明了氯巴占在治疗爆炸头综合征方面的新用途。
