Abstract

Stunned myocardium syndrome (SMS) is a reversible myocardial dysfunction occurring after ischemia and reperfusion, commonly described in cardiac contexts but underrecognized in traumatic brain injury (TBI). We present a case of severe TBI complicated by SMS after cardiac arrest, underscoring the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary management.
