[Coronary vasospasm in general anaesthesia induction].

Coronary artery vasospasm in the induction of general anaesthesia is a rarely reported complication in our environment, owing to its low incidence or due to having disappeared. We present a case of a previously healthy woman, scheduled for shoulder arthroscopy, who in the anaesthetic induction had a ventricular tachycardia, which spontaneously reverted to sinus rhythm with ST elevation on the left side, and which was diagnosed and treated immediately by using angiography. The importance of the case is based on the lack of references found, and on being rarely reported in health patients during the induction of general anaesthesia, and with an immediate diagnosis and resolving using angiography.
