      imaging investigations: A case report.

AB  - A congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac 
      malformation, that is, usually diagnosed in adulthood. It is rarely diagnosed 
      prenatally. In most cases, surgical resection is recommended soon after the 
      diagnosis has been made due to the risk of arrhythmia and thrombotic events. The 
      present report describes a case of LAAA that was prenatally diagnosed and was 
      asymptomatic postnatally. Imaging revealed the relation of the cardiac and airway 
      structures around the LAAA in detail. The patient underwent surgical resection of 
      the LAAA successfully at 7 months of age and is currently healthy at 5 years of 
      age.
