Acute myocarditis is a heterogeneous disorder, which may be related to infection, immune disorders, or inflammatory processes. Clinical symptoms of acute myocarditis are varied. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial. A male patient is presented with this disorder at 17 years of age with atypical chest pain and an elevated troponin. Electrocardiographic findings were nonspecific, and the echocardiogram was normal. Computed tomography angiography of the coronary arteries was normal. Contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated delayed epicardial enhancement involving the basal lateral and anterolateral left ventricular wall and wall dyskinesis consistent with acute myocarditis and myocardial necrosis.
