We present the case of a girl with an infarct and an aneurysm of the left ventricle after viral disease at the age of six years. She died suddenly at 13 years of age. Autopsy findings revealed occlusion of the anterior descending and narrowing of the right coronary artery. The possible relationship of virus disease to the vascular disease is discussed.
