ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
The etiology of 'exploding head syndrome' (EHS) is currently highly controversial and its management is unknown. The object was to explore these.METHODS:
This observational study describes my personal experience of EHS and discusses its implications.RESULTS:
I experienced, while suffering from EHS, recurrent episodes of transient cardiac arrests due to sick sinus syndrome. Implantation of a cardiac pacemaker resulted in immediate, dramatic, permanent cessation of both cardiac arrest episodes and EHS. This has not been reported previously.CONCLUSIONS:
This striking temporal relationship indicates a possible association between EHS and sick sinus syndrome.Key words
