Tricuspid insufficiency after blunt chest trauma in a nine-year-old child.
The case of a traumatic tricuspid insufficiency in a child, due to an anterior and septal leaflet rupture at the annulus level is reported for the first time. The early diagnosis 2 months after the trauma enabled a rapid and simple tricuspid valvuloplasty by laeflet reinsertion on the annulus associated with annuloplasty with a good result 6 months after the repair.
