“…Congenital LAAA can be isolated or associated with other congenital anomalies such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, anomalous renal artery, Noonan syndrome, 3 Hurler‐Scheie syndrome, 7 transposition of the great arteries, 1 tricuspid atresia, 8 and pericardial defect 9 . There was none of these comorbidities in our case.…”

Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare pathologic entity that can be congenital or, more frequently, acquired. Its complications include arrhythmias and thromboembolic events, palpitations, hiccups, chest pain, dyspnea, and myocardial infarction. LAAA can be isolated or associated with other congenital anomalies such as atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, anomalous renal artery, Noonan syndrome, and Hurler‐Scheie syndrome. We report a rare case of giant LAA with intra‐aneurysmal thrombus diagnosed by contrast‐enhanced echocardiography.

Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare cardiac pathology that is often identified in adulthood. There are a myriad of presentations related to atrial appendage enlargement, but most are asymptomatic. Pediatric cases of LAAA are extremely rare. We report a case of an incidental giant LAAA found in a healthy 6-year-old boy. He was successfully treated with surgical resection. A review of the literature shows that the presentation of LAAA in pediatrics likely involves cardiac or respiratory symptoms but can also be incidental findings. Similar to adults, diagnosis requires cardiac imaging, with echocardiography being the mainstay. Surgical intervention is indicated in symptomatic and most asymptomatic patients to prevent complications. More research is warranted into the optimal timing of surgery and alternative surgical approaches for complex cases.
