WOLFF PARKINSON and WHITE (WPW) syndrome is the most common form of pre-excitation. It is associated in some cases with atrial fibrillation with a high risk of sudden death. We report the case of a 64-year-old hypertensive woman with a history of ischemic stroke. She presented with hyperkinetic palpitations without hemodynamics instability on admission. The electrocardiogram recorded a complete tachyarrhythmia by pre-excitation atrial fibrillation, with a mean rate of 300 beats per minute. Electrophysiological investigation revealed an accessory pathway located at the ostium of the coronary sinus, which was successfully ablated by radiofrequency. A drug treatment based on flecaine 100 mg was introduced. The patient was asymptomatic after one month of outpatient follow-up.
