• Submitral aneurysm is a rare pathology, and little is known about it. • Congenital and inflammatory causes are the main etiologies of submitral aneurysm. • Echocardiography is the main method for diagnosis. • Main symptoms are related to mitral valve regurgitation and consequent heart failure. • Treatment is surgical.

Submitral aneurysm is a challenging and uncommon cardiac disease that is uniquely related to the posterior mitral valve leaflet. Awareness and prompt identification are vital because of the strong predilection for sudden fatal complications. Techniques and timing of surgical procedures are not standardized, especially in incidentally detected cases.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by a large vessel vasculitis involving the aorta and its branches. Myocardial involvement is extremely unusual in TA and is mostly in the form of myocarditis, ventricular hypertrophy, and ventricular dysfunction secondary to coronary ischemia. Submitral aneurysms have been reported in TA and has been attributed to the chronic inflammatory process in TA.

A sub-mitral left ventricular aneurysm is a rare condition. It is a congenital outpouching of the left ventricular wall, invariably occurring adjacent to the posterior mitral leaflet. Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) has usually been reported as a consequence of myocardial ischemia (MI), rheumatic heart disease, tuberculosis, and infective endocarditis.
