JANSEN VAN VUUREN, J M; PILLAY, S and RAMCHANDRE, K. Atypical chest pain: Needles in a haystack. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2016, vol.106, n.11, pp.1090-1091. ISSN 2078-5135. http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/samj.2016.v106i11.11057.
A 20-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of intermittent chest pain. Initial imaging demonstrated approximately 15 sewing needles lodged in his myocardium, predominantly in the left ventricle. The patient has been referred to cardiothoracic surgery for further management. His progress will be monitored closely.
