Abstract
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the myocardium that can lead to necrosis and degeneration of myocytes. Viral myocarditis may affect children consequences. Complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) arise as a rare complication of acute myocarditis. Its occurrence in infants and children is uncommon, but can lead to serious complications. In this case report, we present a 29-month-old male, previously healthy, with a picture of acute myocarditis associated initially with junctional tachyarrhythmia that progressed later to persistent CAVB needing permanent pacemaker insertion.
