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. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Surgery reduces the risks of cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, arrhythmia, heart failure, thromboembolism, or rupture. We report the case of a 3-year-old boy with incidental diagnosis of a giant aneurysm of the left atrial appendage that was confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging and treated with surgery.
左心耳动脉瘤通常是先天性的，是非常罕见的心脏异常。它们在儿童期很少被诊断出来，大多数病例在20至40岁之间出现症状。由于存在潜在的危及生命的并发症，诊断至关重要。手术切除是首选的治疗方法。手术可降低心脏骤停、呼吸窘迫、心律失常、心力衰竭、血栓栓塞或破裂的风险。我们报告了一例3岁男孩的病例，该男孩偶然被诊断为左心耳巨大动脉瘤，经磁共振成像确诊并接受了手术治疗。
