Abstract (2. Language): 
Convulsive apnea is rarely seen after neonatal period, and it is infrequently accompanied to severe bradycardia. We present a 4-month-old boy with convulsive apnea associated with bradycardia. Careful clinical assessment of the infant revealed partial seizures characterized by staring, tonic deviation of the eyes and head just before apneic-bradycardic attacks. This case indicates that comprehensive procedures is not always necessary for the diagnosis of epilepsy.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Yenidoğan döneminden sonra konvülzif apne ve onu eşlik eden bradikardi nadirdir. Biz bradikardinin eşlik ettiği konvülzif apneli 4 aylık bir bebek sunuyoruz. Dikkatli klinik değerlendirme, bu bebekde apneik-bradikardik ataklardan hemen önce olan boş bakma, baş ve gözlerde tonik deviasyon ile karakterize parsiyel epilepsi tanısını koydurdu. Bu olgu epilepsi tanısında her zaman ileri tetkiklerin gerekli olmadığını gösterir.
