AB  - Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare congenital anomaly, usually 
      identified incidentally on a chest radiograph performed for another indication. 
      Our case is that of an 11-month-old male infant who was incidentally diagnosed as 
      having a giant LAAA while being clinically evaluated for pneumonia. The lesion 
      was accurately diagnosed on preoperative, non-contrast, free-breathing cardiac 
      MRI (CMR). LAAA has a peculiar appearance, resembling a "giant dog ear"-a sign 
      first described on cardiac angiography and holding true on CMR as well. Fast 
      free-breathing sequences on CMR, especially on 3 T, provide high-resolution 
      images and eliminate the need for other pre-operative imaging that are either 
      invasive, involve radiation exposure, require general anaesthesia or a 
      combination of these.
