  • Title: Ventricular tachycardia and chest pain due to foreign body in the pericardium caused by self-injurious behaviour.
    Author: Yamamoto H, Fukasawa Y, Kato T.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2019 Sep; 29(9):1217-1218. PubMed ID: 31378212.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old girl suddenly developed ventricular tachycardia and severe chest pain during hospitalisation for trauma surgery. CT revealed a needle in the pericardium. Careful interview elicited that she had inserted the needle by herself, and Munchausen syndrome was diagnosed. This is the first report of ventricular tachycardia caused by a foreign body in a patient with Munchausen syndrome.
