A left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is formed when there is free wall rupture of the myocardial wall with discontinuity and roof covered by pericardium mural thrombus or fibrous tissue without any myocardium. A left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare and life-threatening event. We report a young 22-year-old female with unknown etiology of a pseudoaneurysm, who was previously managed as a psychiatric case and for musculoskeletal pain. On subsequent investigation and confirmation with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, aneurysmectomy was done. This is a rare case in a young 22-year-old woman with a ventricular pseudoaneurysm of unknown etiology. Considering the high risk for rupture of a ventricular pseudoaneurysm, surgical resection was mandatory with no complications intraand postprocedure.
