%X Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in neonates is often asymptomatic; but may be fatal too. Clinical presentation in newborns is usually with non-specific symptoms. This is the reason why the diagnosis is either missed or made late. We report a 19 days neonate who presented with non- specific symptoms, had tachycardia and electrocardiogram showed features suggestive of SVT. Conclusion: Diagnosis of SVT in neonates is often not straight forward; hence all tachycardia in neonates should be documented to look out for arrhythmia. A high index of suspicion is needed to diagnose SVT in neonates
