Abstract
A toddler, age 2, presented with a penetrating cardiac trauma caused by a fall on a pencil. This case showed a normal echocardiography. However, during removal of the pencil, signs of cardiac tamponade were noticeable. Thus, a normal echocardiography is no guarantee to exclude a possible penetrating cardiac injury.Entities:
