[Incessant atrial tachycardia and a cerebral tumor].
We report the case of an asymptomatic 78-year-old woman in whom incessant atrial tachycardia refractory to many pharmacological treatments appeared. Months after the appearance of atrial tachycardia, clinical neurological symptoms of a cerebral cystic tumor appeared. Treatment of the tumor resolved the rhythm disorder.
