Abstract:

Exploding Head Syndrome (EHS) is a rare type of a group of sleep disorders called parasomnias. It is characterized by the perception of a sudden loud noise in the head as the patient is falling asleep or awakening from sleep. The sound is described as a painless loud bang, an explosion, or a bomb exploding but can be a less alarming sound. We report a 60 years old lady with EHS describing this disorder and the assessment and management of it.
