Multiple recurrent supraventricular tachycardia in infantile tuberous sclerosis complex: management requiring triple-drug therapy

We report the case of a female neonate admitted to the neonatal ICU with a rapid, narrow-complex tachyarrhythmia determined to be supraventricular tachycardia. Multimodality imaging and genetic testing confirmed a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex with multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas. At 13 days of age, the patient was readmitted, exhibiting recurrent supraventricular tachycardia non-responsive to first-line treatment. Management required triple-drug therapy, whereafter the patient remained stable without recurrences. This is a rare report of supraventricular tachycardia in a functionally normal heart with the occurrence of supraventricular tachycardia due to structural abnormalities, with the possibility of multiple concealed accessory pathways.
