Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAA AN) is a rare disease entity, which can be congenital or acquired in nature. We report an adult patient with LAA AN presenting with anginal chest pain in whom live/real time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE) provided incremental value over the two-dimensional (2D) technique in providing a more comprehensive assessment of the lesion. A literature review of the salient features of LAA AN is also provided in a tabular form.
左心耳动脉瘤（LAA AN）是一种罕见的疾病实体，其性质可为先天性或后天性。我们报告一名患有LAA AN的成年患者，其表现为心绞痛，在该病例中，实时三维经胸超声心动图（3DTTE）相较于二维（2D）技术，在更全面评估病变方面具有额外价值。本文还以表格形式对LAA AN的显著特征进行了文献综述。
