Key result
Physical stresses from cerebellar hemorrhage and subsequent cranial operation may have caused takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction in a 71-year-old woman.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights that physical stress from cerebellar hemorrhage and cranial surgery can trigger takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction.
May warrant cardiac evaluation after cerebellar hemorrhage; leaves open causal links and need for prospective study.
We report a 71-year-old woman with takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction accompanied with cerebellar hemorrhage. On admission time, although she was unconscious by cerebellar hemorrhage, no obvious heart failure and serological disorder were observed. Three days later, operation for extraventricular drainage was performed. However, conscious level did not change. Four days after admission, the change of electrocardiogram wave pattern and the decrement of heart wall motion were detected. These findings revealed takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction had occurred. Physical stresses by cerebellar hemorrhage and cranial operation might cause cardiac disorder. This is a remarkable case of takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction, which is brought about cerebellar hemorrhage against subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Tempaku et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction and cerebellar hemorrhage (n=1). Cerebellar hemorrhage and cranial operation was evaluated on Takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction. Physical stresses from cerebellar hemorrhage and subsequent cranial operation may have caused takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction in a 71-year-old woman.
