[Glossopharyngeal neuralgia with MAS syndrome and complex partial seizures].

The authors present a 56-year-old-man with idiopathic glossopharyngeal neuralgia, complicated by cardiac disturbance with asystole and complex partial seizures. The mechanism of epileptic seizures was released due to transient brain ischaemia, which was caused by cardiac disturbance with asystole, during pain episodes. Pacemarker implantation completely abolished cardiac disturbance and complex partial seizures.
