The present is the case of a male treated on several occasions for seizures with diazepam. Eventually, an acquired long QT syndrome was demonstrated which predisposed him to torsades de pointes, manifesting as seizures and henceforth treated erroneously. The long QT syndrome is reviewed, describing the different causes of long QT interval, both congenital and acquired, electrocardiographic diagnosis, according to heart rate and treatment.
