We report a case of a 47-year-old woman who presented with a 3-year history of paroxysmal events after suffering traumatic brain injury in a motor vehicle accident. She had not previously been diagnosed with epilepsy. On video-EEG monitoring, she was found to have a right temporal seizure associated with ictal asystole lasting for 18 seconds. Our case raises the possibility that undiagnosed ictal asystole could be a potential cause of sudden unexplained death.
我们报告了一例47岁女性患者，她在机动车事故中遭受创伤性脑损伤后出现了3年的阵发性发作史。她之前未被诊断为癫痫。在视频脑电图监测中，发现她有一次右侧颞叶癫痫发作，伴有发作性心搏停止，持续18秒。我们的病例提示，未被诊断出的发作性心搏停止可能是不明原因猝死的一个潜在原因。
