An 11-year-old boy presented with recurrent exertional syncope for 1 month. The baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) suggested a diagnosis of long QT syndrome with macroscopic T-wave alternans. Volatility of blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy triggered further investigations, revealing pheochromocytoma as the primary cause. The child underwent laparoscopic resection of the tumor with subsequent resolution of ECG changes and symptoms. The genetic testing was negative for known mutations implicated with prolonged QT interval.
一名11岁男孩因反复劳力性晕厥1个月前来就诊。基线心电图(ECG)提示诊断为长QT综合征伴明显T波交替。血压波动和左心室肥厚引发了进一步检查,结果显示嗜铬细胞瘤是主要病因。该患儿接受了腹腔镜肿瘤切除术,随后心电图改变和症状得到缓解。基因检测未发现与QT间期延长相关的已知突变。
