The authors present a case of sub-annular aneurysm of the left ventricle in a child of 7. It was associated with aortic incompetence, a ventricular septal defect, and coarctation of the aorta which were discovered during investigation of streptococcal septicaemia. As a first stage procedure, the aortic valve was repaired, the aneurysm was excised, and the ventricular septal defect closed. At a later stage, the coarctation was resected. The question of whether this lesion was congenital or acquired is discussed. After one year, the result remains satisfactory.
