title: Pseudoseizures in a preadolescent: does this case have a bite?
abstract: We report a preadolescent girl with acquired complete heart block most likely caused by viral myocarditis. The diagnosis was supported by endomyocardial biopsy and several immunohistological panels. A temporary pacemaker was used, and the child responded well to therapy with full recovery of cardiac conduction.
