RESUMO
We present the case of a 28-years-old male presenting to the Emergency Department for relapsing episodes of "déjà vu" and syncope. After a diagnostic workup by a multidisciplinary team, the simultaneous EEG and ECG monitoring showed an asystole associated with EEG anomalies in right fronto-temporal region of the brain. The brain MRI revealed an ischemic lesion concordant with EEG anomalies. In the suspicion of an ictal asystole, we decided not to implant a permanent pacemaker as the first line therapy but started a targeted anti-epileptic therapy. No more syncopal episodes nor dysrhythmias occurred during recovery and almost two years follow-up.
