Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator-Induced Neurapraxia Following Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation

An increasing proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation are undergoing implantation with hypoglossal nerve stimulators for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. We present a case of hypoglossal nerve stimulator–associated neurapraxia following electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillatio...

Sumario:An increasing proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation are undergoing implantation with hypoglossal nerve stimulators for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. We present a case of hypoglossal nerve stimulator–associated neurapraxia following electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
