Abstract
A 54-year-old man, previously diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) and depressive affective disorder, presented
with vertigo, repetitive presyncope and palpitations. Physical
examination revealed multiple neurofibromas, café-au-lait spots
and axillary freckling (Fig. 1), tachyarrhythmia, and high blood
pressure (BP). Electrocardiogram (ECG) indicated paroxysmal
atrial flutter of 150 beats per minute with frequent recurrence.
Stable sinus rhythm was achieved with alfa/beta blockers and amiodarone.
