Life-threatening torsade de pointes arrhythmia associated with head injury.

M Rotem1, S Constantini, Y Shir, S Cotev.   

Abstract

Torsade de pointes (atypical ventricular tachycardia) occurred in a 75-year-old man 1 day after blunt head injury, in association with a focal intracerebral hematoma in the left thalamic area. The causal relationship between the traumatic stimulation of the left sympathetic pathway and the development of this life-threatening arrhythmia is discussed.
