Özet
We describe a 16-year-old boy who presented with palpitations for 1 week while being on isotretinoin treatment for nodulocystic facial acne for 3 months. Twenty four-hour Holter monitoring showed frequent premature atrial beats and episodes of nonsustained atrial tachycardia. He never had any episodes of palpitations previously. His complaints almost disappeared within a week after stopping the treatment. He remained asymptomatic since the discontinuation of the drug. The temporal relationship between isotretinoin treatment and patient's symptoms in the presence of documented arrhythmia suggests a drug-related cause. As a result, clinicians should be aware of the possible arrhythmogenic effect of isotretinoin.
