Abstract
There are many causes of ST-elevation on electrocardiogram (ECG). ECG changes in the setting of intra-abdominal pathology is a rare and under characterised and includes the “spiked helmet sign”. We report a rare case of the “spiked helmet sign” that presented with ST-elevation [...] Read more.
There are many causes of ST-elevation on electrocardiogram (ECG). ECG changes in the setting of intra-abdominal pathology is a rare and under characterised and includes the “spiked helmet sign”. We report a rare case of the “spiked helmet sign” that presented with ST-elevation in the precordial leads due to post-operative ileus. Full article

Spiked helmet sign is a novel electrocardiogram marker that reflects a poor prognosis, and may mimic myocardial infarction, especially in patients with an acute alteration of mental status or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In cases where a spiked helmet sign is missed, there may be a delay in surgical intervention for the underlying conditions because of unnecessary cardiac catheterization. In addition, antiplatelet agents for acute coronary syndrome in such cases can lead to catastrophic complications. Therefore, early recognition of spiked helmet sign is useful for timely correction of the underlying disease and prevention of poor outcomes. Herein, we describe a rare case of a patient with internal bleeding and subarachnoid hemorrhage presenting with spiked helmet sign on an electrocardiogram. Full article
