ABSTRACT
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is characterized by reversible left ventricular (LV) apical ballooning and no significant coronary artery stenosis. New variants of TC with localized wall motion abnormality or inversed pattern with hyperdynamic apex have been reported. We present the case of a 24-year-old female with atypical presentation of TC occurring in the setting of paranasal sinus surgery under local anaesthesia with post-surgical nasal packing. She did not demonstrate ST-segment elevation on electrocardiogram, but transient moderate LV systolic dysfunction and localized wall motion abnormality affecting basal to mid-ventricular anterior and anteroseptal wall. She rapidly and completely recovered without sequelae.
