Abstrakt:	Myocarditis is an uncommon disease in childhood and has a wide range of clinical presentations, from subtle to devastating and thus requires a high index of suspicion. Intracardiac thrombus formation following myocarditis is rare and thus its management remains challenging and not well defined. We report a child whom presented with a viral prodrome, rapidly deteriorated into multi organ failure and developed fulminant viral myocarditis with encephalitis that was complicated with an intracardiac thrombus formation. We describe the challenges faced, the successful medical treatment offered and propose factors that can help guide appropriate treatment.
