Abstract
A previously healthy 4-year-old female presented in cardiogenic shock with pneumococcal meningitis. Findings on echocardiogram raised suspicion for takotsubo cardiomyopathy. With supportive care, left ventricular systolic function normalised. Findings on cardiac imaging helped determine the aetiology and avoid further invasive studies or unnecessary treatment.
