Traumatic Left Ventricular Aneurysm and Ventricular Septal Defect in a Child.

Cardiac injuries following blunt trauma are rare but potentially lethal in children. We present a 23-month-old child who sustained an aneurysm of the left ventricle free wall and ventricular septum with associated ventricular septal defect following blunt trauma. She underwent successful surgical repair 6 weeks following her date of injury.
