Abstract
|
|
|
|
Exploding head syndrome (EHS) is a rare phenomenon of unknown etiology, characterized by a sense of an explosive noise in the head usually in the wake-sleep transition. The sufferers experience a loud bang in their head that seems to originate from inside the head. We describe a 55-year old male with symptoms of a loud bang, spark and electrical current running like noise at sleep onset for one year. On video-electroencephalography monitoring, the events occurred during sleep-wake transition. We diagnosed him to EHS based on typical clinical features.
