Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is rarely diagnosed on the basis
of an abnormal cardiac silhouette. Patients with a left atrial appendage
aneurysm often present with symptoms of systemic emboli or supraventricular
arrhythmias. A patient with left atrial appendage aneurysm was diagnosed by
correlation of two noninvasive techniques echocardiography and radionuclide
scintiscanning. Angiography was confirmatory and aneurysmectomy was
successfully performed.
