Abstract

We present the case of a 74-year-old female who attempted suicide by stabbing repeatedly with a nail scissor in the sub-sternal chest. Chest Computed Tomography (CT) performed at her arrival at our emergency department detected the presence of massive pericardial effusion. A follow-up cardiac CT after the pericardial drainage showed a Pseudo-aneurysm of the anterior wall of the right ventricle. <Learning objective: The evidence of post-traumatic right ventricular pseudo-aneurysm is a rare finding. Due to the challenge of diagnosis and potential fatality of this rare condition, it is important to be aware of its occurrence and to refine its recognition with imaging examinations.>.
