TI  - Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm: A Case Report.
PG  - 1400-1405

AB  - Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare heart anomaly caused by 
      congenital dysplasia of the pectinate muscle or by an acquired pathological 
      condition of the mitral valve or cardiac muscle. It is often incidentally 
      discovered during chest CT or echocardiography as an abnormal dilatation of the 
      LAA. LAAA is associated with life-threatening complications and most patients 
      require surgical treatment. Therefore, it is important to evaluate associated 
      complications as well as precise diagnoses. This report presents the case of a 
      surgically confirmed LAAA in a 53-year-old female. We also discuss the 
      pathophysiology of LAAA and significant findings related to mortality that can be 
      detected on CT and MRI.
