[Persistent atrial paralysis. Observation of a clinical case and review of the literature].
A total, primitive, persistent, non-familial auricular standstill was observed in a twenty-two year old female with right hemiplegia and aphasia. The diagnosis was confirmed by electrocardiogram, fluoroscopy, echocardiography and intra-atrial recording and pacing. The patient was treated with permanent pacemaker and anticoagulant drugs. The various clinical presentations, diagnostic criteria, and therapeutic choices are reviewed.
