    AbstractIn children, even minor trauma to the chest can result in cardiac injury. We describe a case of a 13-year-old boy who received blunt chest trauma during a motorcycle accident. He was initially symptom-free but later complained of persistent chest pain and a murmur was noted. An anterior muscular ventricular septal defect was detected one day after the accident, and a left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm developed days later. Both were successfully repaired 3 weeks after the injury.
