Abstract

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.
