Abstract:

Myocardial abscess is a life-threatening condition characterized by a suppurative infection of the myocardium. It typically arises as a complication of infective endocarditis or, less frequently, other conditions such as sepsis or myocardial infarction. The most common localizations are the left ventricular wall and the interventricular septum. Isolated myocardial abscesses are exceedingly rare. In this report, we present the case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with a right ventricle myocardial abscess 6 months after surgical repair of a penetrating cardiac injury. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of isolated right ventricle myocardial abscess after penetrating cardiac injury
