Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

AbstractA 20 year-old woman presented with systemic embolisation. On subsequent investigation, she was diagnosed with a congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm. Few case reports are reported in the literature. This cardiac malformation presents a diagnostic challenge in patients with cardiomegaly.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

A congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac malformation that is usually diagnosed in adulthood. It is rarely diagnosed prenatally. In most cases, surgical resection is recommended soon after the diagnosis has been made due to the risk of arrhythmia and thrombotic events. The present report describes a case of LAAA which was prenatally diagnosed and was asymptomatic postnatally. Imaging revealed the relation of the cardiac and airway structures around the LAAA in detail. The patient underwent surgical resection of the LAAA successfully at 7 months of age and is currently healthy at 5 years of age.

Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm

Left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare heart defect; Most often diagnosed incidentally but may be potentially hazardous when presented with a systemic embolization or arrhythmia. So early diagnosis and treatment is indicated. We have successfully operated two cases of left atrial aneurysm in recent past and sharing our experiences through this case reports.
