AB  - Limited literatures report the management of congenital left atrial appendage 
      aneurysm (LAAA) which is extremely rare. Chest X-ray firstly showed an enlarged 
      left cardiac silhouette for a 3-year-old patient with pneumonia. Echocardiography 
      and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a large cyst attached to the left 
      atrium. Aneurysmectomy was performed through lateral thoracotomy using 
      step-by-step method and under the guidance of transoesophageal echocardiography. 
      We aim to show the safety and efficacy of this approach applied to children 
      associated with congenital LAAA.
