ABSTRACT
This case describes a 69-year-old male who had a permanent pacemaker implanted for sick sinus syndrome. He was struck by a car with a resultant failure of the pulse generator. Trauma-related failure of a pulse generator is a rare event. Its recognition is imperative in the overall management of the trauma patient.
