Cardio-auditory syndrome of Jervell and Lange-Nielsen.
An 8-year-old deaf-mute girl experienced syncopal attacks. Past medical history revealed cardiac arrhythmia which had developed following an abdominal surgery for a twisted ovarian cyst. Electrocardiogram showed a Q-Tc interval of 40/100 second. The diagnosis was Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome. Etiology, physiopathology, clinical picture, and management of the disease are discussed.
