Idiopathic right ventricular pseudoaneurysm presenting with ventricular tachycardia: a case report

We present a case of 21-year-old male who presented to us with palpitations for 2  days and one episode of syncope and was diagnosed with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and he was managed with electrical cardioversion during one of the episodes. Echocardiogram and CMR showed a larger right ventricular pseudoaneurysm at apex. Surgical excision was done uneventfully. The patient had no further VT episodes post-surgery. This case highlights the approach to diagnosis and management of RV pseudoaneurysm.
