  • Title: Myocardial necrosis and ventricular aneurysm following closed chest injury in a child.
    Author: Rheuban KS, Tompkins DG, Nolan SP, Berger B, Martin R, Schneider JA.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1981 Feb; 21(2):170-3. PubMed ID: 7206011.
    Abstract:
    A 4-year-old child is described who suffered an unsuspected myocardial contusion which led to the formation of a ventricular aneurysm 2 months after an automobile accident. Electrocardiography, thallium scanning, myocardial enzyme assays, two-dimensional echocardiography and, when indicated, cardiac catheterization, may aid in the early diagnosis of cardiac contusions. In the patient presented, resection of the aneurysm 6 months postinjury was followed by elimination of almost all the mitral regurgitation originally present and good cardiovascular function.
