Description
An 11-year-old boy presented with recurrent exertional syncope for 1 month. The baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) suggested a diagnosis of long QT syndrome with macroscopic T-wave alternans. Volatility of blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy triggered further investigations, revealing pheochromocytoma as the primary cause. The child underwent laparoscopic resection of the tumor with subsequent resolution of ECG changes and symptoms.
