Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome is a rare abnormal condition frequently associated with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) and is described as an arrhythmia under the form of increased heartbeat. Currently, there are various possible treatments going from medicines such as adenosine and beta-blockers to cardioversion. The unknown causes of this condition together with the different responses to treatment in each patient make it difficult to establish the best therapeutic approach. In this context, in the current paper, we were interested in reporting the therapeutic options and their efficiency in the case of associated heart or inflammatory conditions in a 13-day-old patient.

A case of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in an Indonesian neonate born in the Departement of Obstetrics, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, is reported. Tachycardia in the neonate was first noted at the age of 6 days, but the heart rate gradually decreased in 8 hours after oxygen was administered. Electrocardiographic examination revealed a Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. A second attack of tachycardia occurred at the age of 2 months and the infant was immediately hospitalized and treated with lanoxin. Serial electrocardiographic examination still revealed the same syndrome. The management and prognosis of supraventricular tachycardia in the neonate is also discussed.
