[Magnetic resonance imaging in a patient with pacemaker].
The patient is a 24-year-old female with a dual-chamber pacemaker, who had intracranial hypertension, progressive visual loss, and several inconclusive cranial tomographies. She underwent magnetic resonance imaging, even though that diagnostic method is absolutely contraindicated in patients with pacemakers.
