title: [Tako-Tsubo syndrome after anaphylaxis caused by succinylcholine during general anaesthesia].
abstract: The Tako-Tsubo syndrome (or transient left ventricular apical balloning) is a new clinical entity, very similar to acute myocardial infarction, but different by its excellent short-term prognosis. It has been reported after a physical or an emotional stress, and it is diagnosed by a coronary angiogram and a left ventriculography. We report here a case of Tako-Tsubo syndrome related to an anaphylactic shock caused by succinylcholine during general anaesthesia of a female patient, wearing an unadjustable gastric band.
