Highlights the rare occurrence of recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy in the pediatric population, potentially triggered by status epilepticus.
Recurrent takotsubo may occur in children after status epilepticus; leaves open true incidence and triggers for prospective study.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy or transient apical ballooning syndrome very rarely presents in children. In all patients with takotsubo, it is estimated that only 3.5% will have recurrence. In this study, we describe a case of recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a child, likely triggered by status epilepticus.
