Summary

Cardiac free wall rupture after myocardial infarction is one of the life-threatening complications, which often results in sudden onset of cardiogenic shock caused by cardiac tamponade. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) provides valuable information in any clinical setting. There have been a few case reports on detecting cardiac rupture by means of CT. We report here a rare case of postinfarct cardiac free wall rupture, whose myocardial tear could be detected by MDCT.
