    Author: Ohshima H, Takeuchi H, Yamaguchi T, Takanashi R, Tsunoda K.
    Journal: Chest; 1993 Sep; 104(3):977-8. PubMed ID: 8365331.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old boy developed broad posterolateral myocardial infarction. During cardiac surgery at age five, a small pericardial window had been made. Autopsy revealed an extensive left-sided pericardial defect and necrosis of the left ventricular free wall, which had herniated and strangulated through the enlarged pericardial defect.
