Abstract

Cross sectional echocardiography demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricular posterolateral wall close to the atrioventricular junction in a 4 year old girl with infective pericarditis complicating lobar pneumonia. Colour flow Doppler demonstrated bidirectional flow across the communication hole. Surgical resection was successful.
