title: [Acute myocardial dysfunction after nasal infiltration with cocaine].
abstract: We report the case of a patient with severe myocardial dysfunction after nasal infiltration of cocaine during septoplasty. Complete recovery of myocardial function was observed in twelve days. Several reports have described chronic cardiomyopathy in long-term cocaine users, but only one case of acute cardiomyopathy. None of these cases were related to the medical use of cocaine.
