Abstract
We describe a case of ictal asystole in a patient with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which has never been described previously. Ictal asystole is rare and has possible serious medical consequences, including syncope, and may be a potential mechanism for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Awareness that PRES may be observed with recurrent ictal asystole may aid in the recognition and treatment of seizures in this condition and the prevention of asystole-associated complications.
