Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition which may develop after rupture of the ventricular myocardial wall. A localized hemopericardium confined is then formed outlined by the parietal pericardium. The pseudoaneurysmal sac is formed by clots and fibrous pericardial tissue and is directly connected to the ventricular chamber. There are no specific clinical signs to identify the disease. Two dimensional echocardiography and computerized tomography can allow the correct diagnosis to be made before cardiac catheterization. Two cases of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm occurring one after chest trauma and the other after acute myocardial infarction are reported.
