Abstract

'The-Man-in-the-barrel' syndrome (MBS) is a rare syndrome that usually develops secondary to cerebral hypoperfusion. Cardiac arrest and severe hypotension are the major causes. Imaging findings of MBS are usually bilaterally anterior circulation border-zone infarcts. Here, we presented a 74 year old case who had MBS secondary to the hypoperfusion caused by severe arrhythmia. MBS can be associated with severe cardiac arrhythmia
