Abstract

Congenital left ventricular aneurysm is a rare anomaly consisting of an extroflection from left ventricular walls with a wide connection. Most left ventricular aneurysms are asymptomatic and diagnosed as incidental finding, but can be associated with complications during follow-up. We present a case of congenital left ventricular aneurysm at the level of the interventricular septum with secondary remodelling of the left ventricle.
