ABSTRACT
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (MTT) is an acute ventricular dysfunction and reversible in absence of coronary disease. It is a rare presentation of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (FPGL). It was described for the first time in 1990 by Sato et al, the physiopathology is not clear yet. It is associated with high levels of catecholamines, vasospasm in the micro vascularization, rupture of atheromatous plaque and myiocarditis. The clinical presentation is similar to an acute myocardial infarction because of that the FPGL must be considered in patients without obstructive coronary lesions. We present a case of a 50 years old women with history of Arterial Hypertension, active smoking and Neurofibromatosis, who is admitted to emergency room with an acute myocardial pain.
