Left atrial appendage aneurysm enlarged in the neonatal period
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2022
Abstract
We describe a newborn with a congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm. The aneurysm size did not change prenatally. However, it rapidly enlarged after birth. MRI was useful for assessing the aneurysm extent and exact size, and for diagnosis. Respiratory distress and feeding difficulties appeared, and surgery was performed. These symptoms disappeared post-operatively. The patient is alive without complications or recurrence.
