Aneurysmal enlargement of the left atrial appendage is an extremely rare pathology and can predispose to adverse events, including cardiac arrest, respiratory distress, arrhythmia, heart failure, systemic thromboembolism, or rupture. It is usually diagnosed incidentally or after the occurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias or thrombotic events in the second to fourth decades of life. We describe a rare case of a symptomatic giant congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) in a 26-year-old man presenting with neurologic event, in whom surgical resection of the aneurysm was successfully performed.

Background: Isolated intrapericardial LAA aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly which manifests with angina, dyspnea on exertion (DOE), systemic embolization, arrhythmia, and congestive heart failure.
Case Report: A 30-year-old female and a 46-year-old male were referred for evaluation of abnormal cardiac contour on chest radiograph and echocardiographic findings and non-specific symptoms. Transesophageal echocardiography suggested left atrial appendage (LAA) mass filled with clots.
