| Abstract: | No documentation is available for myocardial infarction complicating status epilepticus. A 31-year-old man developed an acute inferolateral myocardial infarction during repetitive epileptic seizures. A cineangiographic study performed 6 months later revealed normal coronary arteries and an apical aneurysm in the left ventricle. The main pathogenetic mechanisms involved and a therapeutic possibility are discussed. |
