ABSTRACT
Ischemic heart disease is the most common etiology of aneurysms of the left ventricle. The latter can also result from trauma. We report a case of a patient operated for false aneurysm of the left ventricle revealed by dyspnea and occurring six years after a nonpenetrating chest trauma. Follow-up after surgery was good with no complication occurring. In conclusion, this lesion must be considered in case of chest trauma and can be easily detected by echocardiography or CT scan.
