After reverting to sinus rhytham ecg showed short pr                interval,delta wave and st t changes suggestive of an accessory pathway.Electrophysiological study was carried out ,pathway was mappped and ablated. We report this case because of the presence of multiple pathway in this patient ,unusual presentation as wide complex tachycardia, availability of defenitive                 treatment and to emphasis on the timely referral to prevent sudden cardiac death.
