Musicogenic epilepsy with ictal asystole: a video-EEG case report Volume 23, numéro 4, August 2021

Figure 1

Right temporal lobe seizure with ictal asystole recorded whilst watching and listening to the music video clip. See text for details. The red rectangle indicates the beginning of the right-sided temporal discharge. The first red arrow indicates the beginning of the bradycardia, and subsequent arrows mark probable isolated QRS complexes during extreme bradycardia, and then asystole. The blue rectangle indicates the seizure-induced syncopal component that interrupts the ictal discharge. Green arrows indicate myoclonic jerks. Vertical bar is equal to 200 microvolts; horizontal bar is equal to one second.

Figure 2

Seizure recorded after pacemaker implantation and whilst listening to music. The blue arrow indicates the moment when the patient warns of a seizure. She is then tested and purposefully indicates the presence of a seizure. Red arrow indicates the onset of ictal bradycardia. Green arrow marks the moment when the pacemaker takes over. Vertical bar is equal to 200 microvolts; horizontal bar is equal to one second.
