Ventricular tachycardia is rare in children. In the absence of structural heart disease, ventricular tachycardia is known as idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and carries a good prognosis. We report a 14-month-old male child with right bundle branch block incessant ventricular tachycardia without structural heart disease. In this patient ventricular tachycardia was controlled by amiodarone and disappeared during follow-up. We want to stress the benign nature of this tachycardia if the previous treatment protocol had been appropriate.
