Post-infective pericarditis left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: a case report and review of literature

Manan Desai et al. Cardiol Young. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Post-infective pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle in children is very rare, with only five cases reported in English medical literature so far. Patients usually have a short history of infection by Staphylococcus aureus. Timely surgical intervention has generally a good outcome. We present a case of post-infectious pseudoaneurysm in a 2-year-old girl with a review of literature.

Keywords: left ventricle.
