TI  - Heart in Heart: A Case Report of Giant Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm.
PG  - 251-256
AB  - Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac anomaly. The cause mostly 
      due to congenital, but can be acquired also. Patient may remain asymptomatic or 
      may present with variable symptom. It can predispose to hazardous adverse events, 
      including atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, cardiac dysfunction and 
      life-threatening systemic thromboembolism. Simple imaging, electrocardiography 
      and echocardiography can diagnose this rare cardiac anomaly. We are reporting a 
      case who presented to us at 5 years of age with palpitation, chest pain and 
      dizziness with arrythmia that developed one month back; he visited our outpatient 
      department of the National Heart Foundation Hospital & Research Institute 
      Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh on 13th February 2020. We diagnosed left atrial 
      appendage aneurysm with mitral valve prolapse with atrial arrhythmia thereafter 
      surgical resection of aneurysmal part along with mitral valve annuloplasty done 
      by mid sternotomy and maze therapy. Postoperative period was uneventful and 
      discharged after 6th post operative day.
