RESUMEN
Epilepsy is a rare cause of sinus node dysfunction which should be recognised. The authors report the case of a 55 year old woman with refractory epilepsy who had sinus arrest during her epileptic fits. After excluding a possible interaction by long-term Carbamazepine treatment, the diagnosis of the Ictal bradycardia syndrome was made in view of the simultaneous occurrence of severe bradycardia and epileptic activity recorded on electro-encephalography. Sudden death being more common in epilepsy, effective treatment of conductive cardiac abnormalities is essential. The refractory nature of the epileptic fits led to the implantation of a permanent pacemaker in this case.
