[Aneurysms of the left ventricle without atheromatous coronary artery disease. Apropos of 2 cases].
Left ventricular aneurysms are usually secondary to myocardial infarction with atheromatous coronary artery disease. The authors report two rare cases of non-atheromatous left ventricular apical aneurysms. The first case was clearly post-traumatic but the diagnosis in the second case was more difficult. The authors discuss the aetiological diagnosis of these rare non-atheromatous aneurysms in adults and the therapeutic management with respect to these two cases and a review of the literature.
