[Topographic diagnosis by two-dimensional echocardiography of an intramyocardial foreign body].
A nineteen-year-old male was diagnosed as having a foreign body in his cardiac muscle after a mild open thoracic injury. Diagnosis and follow-up was performed by two-dimensional echocardiography. He did not show any complications after a 6 month follow-up. We emphasize the rare presentation of this entity and the usefulness of echocardiography to attain the foreign body's size and place. Also, echocardiography helps therapeutic management and diagnosis of complications.
