A case report of three Omani children age ranging from one month to ten years managed in a district hospital. All three children reverted to normal sinus rhythm after I.V. adenosine and are under follow up. A detailed review of management of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia is discussed. Treatment options include no treatment, vagal manoeuvres, long term drug therapy, radiofrequency catheter ablation, and surgery.
