Résumé
We present the case of a 74-year-old female who attempted suicide by stabbing repeatedly with a nail scissor in the sub-sternal chest. Chest Computed Tomography (CT) performed at her arrival at our emergency department detected the presence of massive pericardial effusion. A follow-up cardiac CT after the pericardial drainage showed a Pseudo-aneurysm of the anterior wall of the right ventricle. <
