Abstract

The authors report a case of acute thioridazine (Melleril) poisoning with manifestations of polymorphous ventricular rhythm disturbances in the form of torsades de pointes, with an impaired conscious level. The opportunity is taken to review the electrocardiographic changes and cardiac complications linked to the quinidine-like effect of Melleril.
