Congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation characterized by a localized outpouching from the cardiac chamber. The patient is usually asymptomatic. However, complications like embolism, infective endocarditis, arrhythmia and, rarely, rupture can be the initial presentation. Diagnosis can be established by USG, echocardiography, CT angiography, and MRI. We report here two neonates with congenital left ventricular apical diverticulum associated with epigastric hernia.
先天性左心室憩室是一种罕见的心脏畸形,其特征为心腔局部向外膨出。患者通常无症状。然而,诸如栓塞、感染性心内膜炎、心律失常,以及罕见的破裂等并发症可能是首发表现。可通过超声检查(USG)、超声心动图、CT血管造影和MRI进行诊断。我们在此报告两例患有先天性左心室心尖憩室并伴有脐疝的新生儿。
