Rupture of the left ventricle in an infarction is nearly always ensued by a massive pericardiac haemorrhage and sudden death of cardiac tamponade. Quite exceptionally, haemorrhage can be confined in pericardiac adhesions which is followed by a pseudoaneurysm. Case of a 62 year old man is depicted who deceased suddenly 7 months after an acute posterior wall heart infarction. A voluminous pseudoaneurysm was found at the ruptured posterior wall of the left ventricle. Retrospective clinical evaluation fixed the heart rupture on the 10th day after infarction.
