* [Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle in young patients: A propos of three cases].
- Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is a rare late complication of myocardial infarction. So-called non-coronary forms have been described in young people. In this context, we report three cases. Mr. M.B., aged 20, consulted for chest pain associated with palpitations. Cardiovascular examination found a pulsatile, expanding precordial bulging and a mesocardiac systolo-diastolic murmur. We noted a sinus rhythm with ventricular extrasystoles on ECG. The chest radiograph showed cardiomegaly and aneurysmal deformation of the left lower heart border. Doppler echocardiography showed a large left ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm. Mrs. O.B., aged 23, was admitted for biventricular heart failure and in whom the examination found a systolic murmur in the apical area. ECG showed a regular sinus tachycardia, left atrial and ventricular hypertrophy. The chest radiograph showed cardiomegaly and aneurysmal deformation of left middle and lower heart borders. Doppler echocardiography showed a large left ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm. Mr. I.S., aged 24, admitted for the management of congestive heart failure. The patient had non-specific laboratory inflammatory signs, a sinus tachycardia and extrasystoles on the ECG. Chest radiography showed a discontinuation at the posterior arch of the sixth rib, a cardiomegaly and a neurismal dilatation of the left lower heart border. Doppler echocardiography showed a large apical pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle.
