After being struck by an automobile, a 9 year old boy developed transient right bundle branch block followed by electrocardiographic changes of inferior wall myocardial infarction and an increase of serum cardiac enzymes. Two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a prominent septal aneurysm. Subsequent cardiac catheterization confirmed septal aneurysm and demonstrated an additional inferior aneurysm. Six weeks after the accident, resection of the inferior aneurysm was performed. At 1 year follow-up study, residual septal aneurysm and cardiomegaly are present, but the boy is asymptomatic.
