title: [Familial sick sinus syndrome associated to strabismus and persistent left superior vena cava].
abstract: We report a family in which the mother and her three sons suffered sick sinus syndrome and strabismus. Two members had a persistent left superior vena cava with drainage into coronary sinus. The illness in all members of this family was oligosymptomatic, and well tolerated with mild symptoms like dizziness, fatigue and exercise dyspnea associated with nodal rhythm. Three of them, had episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. All patients remain asymptomatic after pacemaker implantation.
