SUMMARY.
A brief summary of the literature
concerning nonpenetrating heart
lesions is given and two cases, 58
year and 30 year old males repre-
senting this kind of heart disease
are reported.
The first case, formerly a healthy
man, got signs of heart disease as
soon as he had suffered an outo-
mobile accident and a week later
typical symptoms of coronary
thrombosis. He afterwards was in-
validated of coronary insufficiency
and died nearly a year and a half
later. The post mortem showed a
huge cardial aneurysm of the ante-
rior surface of the left ventricle.
The second case, a healthy man,
incurred a severe car collision and
was thrown out of the front door.
He had signs of cerebral concus-
sion and of heart trouble in direct
connection to the accident. Four
months later he was sent for special
heart examination. Ecg at rest was
normal, but on exertion ecg was
typical of coronary changes. He had
only partly recovered, but could
work as a car driver. About four
and a half year later he suffered
from left sided paresis of the ex-
tremities and a thrombosis in the
right middle cerebral artery was
diagnosed.
