Abstract

Chest pain is not an uncommon complaint among adolescents; however, it often leads them to seek emergency medical care. The variant angina (coronary artery spasm) with resulting acute myocardial ischemia is an extremely rare cause of chest pain among the pediatric population, and there are very few cases reported. We describe a 13-year-old boy with underlying intermittent Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and who had an acute coronary artery syndrome due to coronary artery vasospasm.
