Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia with QT Interval Prolongation Due to a Brain Tumor
We herein report the case of a 20-year-old man with a history of epilepsy who presented with frequent transient loss of consciousness (T-LOC) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) with QT interval prolongation. Blood investigations revealed panhypopituitarism. Following a biopsy, he was diagn...

description | We herein report the case of a 20-year-old man with a history of epilepsy who presented with frequent transient loss of consciousness (T-LOC) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) with QT interval prolongation. Blood investigations revealed panhypopituitarism. Following a biopsy, he was diagnosed with brain germinoma. During the biopsy, he had an episode of polymorphous VT with QT prolongation. There was no recurrence of T-LOC following chemotherapy and hormone replacement therapy. This case indicates the importance of checking the QT interval in patients with T-LOC, including those with seizures and brain tumors, to ensure appropriate treatment. |
