Incidentally detected congenital giant left atrial appendage aneurysm in a child: MRI findings

Incidentally detected congenital giant left atrial appendage aneurysm in a child: MRI findings

Left atrial appendage aneurysms are usually congenital and are very infrequent anomalies of the heart. They are very rarely diagnosed during childhood, with most cases symptomatic between the 2nd and 4th decades of life. Diagnosis is vitally important due to potential life-threatening complications....
