title: [Cardiomyopathy due to 5-fluorouracil].
abstract: We report a new case of myocardiotoxicity due to 5 fluorouracil. A patient shows immediately after the first cure of chemotherapy where 5 fluorouracil was associated with cisplatinum, a circulatory failure which will need a controlled ventilation and a catecholamine treatment. Right catheterization and two-D echocardiography will confirm the alteration of myocardial contractility. The patient condition will favorably and quickly evolve towards normalisation of the cardiac examination at the third week.
