Neurogenic stunned myocardium (NSM) is seen in cases of Neurological damage (stroke, bleed, seizures, hypoxia) which leads to neurological driven catecholamine rise which causes stress cardiomyopathy. ECG & 2D ECHO shows changes like cardiac strain and Low EF, making it confused with Myocardial infarction. Cardiac markers are generally elevated. There are no clear guidelines and treatment protocols available. Prognosis depends on the severity of neurological event and other comorbidities. In this article we are presenting a case of young boy ending up with Neurogenic stunned myocardium and death after a seizure episode.
