• Differential diagnosis
• electrocardiogram
• stress cardiomyopathy
• ventricular dysfunction

A 60-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department due to syncope. The electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed normal sinus rhythm with ST segment elevation in leads I, II, and aVL. There was no stenosis or vasospasm in the coronary arteries. Transient electrocardiographic ST segment elevation which is indistinguishable from that associated with acute myocardial infarction has been reported in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Until now no case was ever reported with the ECG finding with pattern of posterolateral myocardial infarction in SAH patients. So we describe a patient with SAH mimicking acute myocardial infarction.
