AB  - A left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare congenital or acquired anomaly 
      that often causes fatal complications. Although many reports recommend surgical 
      resection for treatment, there is no clear definition of LAAA. Therefore, the 
      diagnosis and treatment are ambiguous. A 73-year-old woman with cardiogenic 
      stroke was admitted to our hospital because of a suspected LAAA as the source of 
      the embolus. She was incidentally diagnosed with LAAA seven years ago, which was 
      managed with continuous anticoagulation therapy, although atrial fibrillation was 
      not observed. The patient underwent aneurysm resection, and the postoperative 
      course was uneventful.As LAAA symptoms are nonspecific, careful observation is 
      required when LAAA is suspected. The risks associated with surgery are generally 
      low and the surgical outcome is good; however, even with appropriate medical 
      therapy, fatal complications can occur. Therefore, surgical resection of the LAAA 
      should be considered even in asymptomatic patients, considering the low surgical 
      risk.
