Double-chambered left ventricle is a rare CHD that is usually asymptomatic and managed conservatively but can present with ventricular arrhythmias or heart failure. It is important to differentiate from acquired diseases such as post-infarct pseudoaneurysm that need surgical treatment, and cardiac MRI offers an excellent diagnostic tool.

Article Synopsis
- Case 1 details a 65-year-old woman who underwent surgery for right ventricular outflow tract stenosis, and unexpected post-surgery findings showed a shunt between her heart's right and left ventricles due to a ventricular septal defect (VSD).
- Case 2 focuses on a 58-year-old woman with a double-chambered right ventricle, where preoperative imaging missed a VSD that was concealed by a septal aneurysm, leading to no recognized shunt during surgery.
- The cases suggest that diagnoses of right ventricular issues in adults can vary significantly between preoperative and postoperative views, and using multiple imaging techniques may enhance the detection of congenital heart conditions.

This case report shows unique aneurysm at the left ventricular apex associated with a double-chambered left ventricle (DCLV) in asymptomatic 69-year-old female. The aneurysm was located at the apex of an accessory chamber, which was formed by hypertrophied muscle band and the interventricular septum, along with a pronounced jet flow directed towards the apex aneurysm. These finding suggests that the obstruction at the base of the accessory chamber caused a pressure overload at the apex, ultimately leading to the development of the aneurysm.
