[P1-64] Ictal Asystole Caused by Nocturnal Frontal Lobe Epilepsy: A Case Report
[Objectice] We report a case of cardiac arrest caused by nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy which suggest that SUDEP may be associated with frontal lobe epilepsy.
[Methods] A retrospective analysis and summarize of the clinical data of 1 case of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy with cardiac arrest recently diagnosised in our hospital.
[Results] A 35-year-old male patient presented at our hospital due to paroxysmal left lower extremity stiffness for 6 years companied by paroxysmal unconsciousness for 2 years. The paroxysmal left lower extremity stiffness cluster attack every 3 months 1 night . Each episode lasts 2-3 weeks. Each attack lasts about 2-3 seconds. During the attack the patient kept consciousness,Later episodes of unconsciousness with pale complexion, clenched hands, humidicold body and without movement. The attack lasts for 3-4 minutes, at the same time ECG monitoring to ictal asystole. In addition there is a paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.
[Conclusion]Patients with frontal lobe epilepsy can lead to heart changes, suggesting SUDEP is associated with frontal lobe epilepsy.
