Despite medication with phenobarbital she suffered frequent syncope, sometimes accompanied by tonic seizures, sphincter incontinence and tongue biting. These events were preceded by rapid palpitations and were usually triggered by strong emotions or loud noises.

The neurological examination was normal, as was the brain magnetic resonance imaging, and the intercritical electroencephalogram showed no evidence of focal slowing or epileptic activity.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As no abnormalities had been identified on the initial investigation, the patient underwent video electroencephalography and provocation testing, during which she suffered a syncopal episode that was not recorded as epileptic activity on the electroencephalogram. However, the single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) trace showed polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (torsade de pointes) that coincided with the intravenous administration of saline during provocation testing, and with the syncope (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Figure 2</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The 12-lead ECG showed a QTc of 482<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ms (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0015">Figure 3</a>).

Despite these measures, the patient continued to suffer syncopal episodes preceded by rapid palpitations due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, accompanied by mydriasis, tonic movements, urinary incontinence, noisy breathing and sweating. There were no focal neurological signs or post-seizure confusion.

Viral myocarditis and other possible complications were excluded. The electrical storm was ended by increasing the ventricular pacing rate, magnesium sulfate perfusion and increased propanolol dose. As her flu symptoms improved it was deemed unnecessary to begin antiviral therapy with oseltamivir, which could have further prolonged the QT interval, and she was discharged. In outpatient consultations, with the patient medicated with propanolol and alprazolam, the ICD was interrogated, and showed several isolated episodes of ventricular tachycardia with appropriate therapies. Propanolol was replaced by atenolol 200<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/day to aid compliance with therapy.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite beta-blocker therapy, episodes of ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation requiring cardioversion/defibrillation continued.
