Abstrakt: An unusual form of left ventricular aneurysm affecting young Negroes has recently been described at the aortic or mitral valve ring; constitutional factors have been postulated. A 4-year-old Negro boy was observed with a left ventricular submitral aneurysm, probably one of the largest and one of the most calcified to be reported. Tuberculous lymphadenitis involving some of the mediastinal lymph nodes was found on postmortem examination; tuberculosis was believed to be a secondary contributing factor. A review of the literature disclosed only 5 other children with calcified left ventricular aneurysms, of which 2 were of the subvalvular type.
