AB  - Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare congenital structural heart 
      disease. It is often diagnosed by echocardiography; however, other imaging 
      modalities can add to its diagnosis and its potential effects on the surrounding 
      structures. A 16-year-old boy presented with dyspnea and palpitation. 
      Transthoracic echocardiography showed a large LAAA communicating with the LA 
      through a narrow neck with impaired left ventricular (LV) systolic function. 
      Multidetector cardiac tomography showed that the LAAA is compressing the left 
      anterior descending artery. The LAAA was surgically resected followed by 
      improvement of the LV systolic function.
