Contrary to what the name implies, the left atrial appendage is increasingly becoming an organ of clinical importance. Its role in the pathogenesis of thromboembolism is now well established. Enlargement of the appendage due to haemodynamic disturbances or anatomic weakness increases this risk, along with the potential for arrhythmia. We report a rare case of gross enlargement of the left atrial appendage within the pericardial cavity.

Congenital Cardiac Anomaly

Congenital absence of the left atrial appendage is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly which is usually an incidental finding. We present a rare case of congenital absence of the left atrial appendage in a 77-year-old female patient with atrial fibrillation, and we will discuss the role of anticoagulation in the patient with congenital absence of the left atrial appendage based on the scientific data and theoretic background.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare anomaly, which predisposes to hazardous cardiovascular events. We present a rare case of a 26-year-old female with a giant left atrial appendage aneurysm. The left atrial appendage was incidentally detected during her pregnancy. Six months later after her parturition, the patient was referred to our department and successfully received surgical treatment prophylactically to prevent potential complications. To the best of our knowledge, only about 100 cases of LAAA have been reported.
