Abstract
Ventricular pseudoaneurysms are very unusual in children. A six-year-old child developed left ventricular pseudoaneurysm associated with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. The patient responded favorably to antibiotic therapy and ventriculoplasty through an unconventional surgery due to the constrictive pericarditis.
