Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is a rare form of tachycardia. We hereby report a case of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in an 8-year-old boy wherein careful clinical exami-nation led to the diagnosis of Andersen Tawil syndrome. The case also demonstrates the efficacy of flecainide in managing bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in the setting of Andersen Tawil syndrome.
