Abstract


Formation of pseudo-aneurysm of the left ventricle is a rare entity particularly in the pediatric age group. We report a case of a pseudo-aneurysm of the left ventricle in a 6-year-old boy who initially presented to us with staphylococcus aureus septicemia. The left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm was surgically resected and the boy was discharged in a healthy condition.
