    Abstract:
    The case of a 36-year-old woman with suspected idiopathic long QT syndrome is reported. Diagnosis was made late after syncopal attacks and several episodes of resuscitation had occurred. Although therapy with a beta-blocking agent was initiated and a cardioverter/defibrillator was implanted, the patient died, due to a hydrocephalus internus resulting in cerebral damage. Diagnostic and therapeutic problems in idiopathic long QT syndrome are discussed.
