Congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare condition caused by dysplasia of the atrial muscles. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy, with a 5-month history of cough and in sinus rhythm. Transthoracic echocardiography and computerized tomographic angiography confirmed the aneurysm of the left atrial appendage which was resected through median sternotomy on cardiopulmonary bypass. This case is presented not only for its rarity but also for its atypical clinical presentation.
先天性左心耳动脉瘤是一种由心房肌发育异常引起的罕见病症。我们报告一例14岁男孩，有5个月咳嗽病史，心律正常。经胸超声心动图和计算机断层血管造影证实了左心耳动脉瘤，该动脉瘤在体外循环下通过正中胸骨切开术切除。展示此病例不仅因其罕见，还因其非典型的临床表现。
