Abstract
A case of congenital absence of the left pericardium is reported in which a silastic graft was used to stabilize the hypermobile left ventricle. This is believed to be the 128th such case reported in the English literature. The incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, clinical significance and corrective procedures have been briefly discussed. In view of at least 8 cases reported in the past year, this anomaly should not be considered the rarity that it once was.
