“…Subaortic left ventricular aneursyms are seen very infrequently and the reported cases in the medical literature are from Africa and India [1][2][3][4]. This interesting patient is the first case of subaortic left ventricular aneurysm reported from Turkey.…”

A huge subaortic left ventricular aneursym was diagnosed in an asymptomatic 22-year-old male patient. The walls of aneurysm were calcific and compressed the left atrium. Also, a saccular descending aortic aneursym and moderate mitral insufficiency associated with subaortic left ventricular aneurysm were found in the current case. Up to now, the coexistence of congenital left ventricular aneurysm and saccular aortic aneursym has not been reported in the literature. We present the first case of congenital left ventricular aneurysm combined with saccular aortic aneurysm in descending thoracic aorta in this case report.

“…The aneurysm presently described occurs almost exclusively in blacks and is encountered primarily among Nigerians and South African Bantus [3,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][16][17][18][19]. However, isolated reports ofthese aneurysms in blacks from the United States and the West Indies have been published [1, 2,4,12,15].…”

A submitral annular left ventricular aneurysm in a Nigerian patient is described. The features consisted of an abnormal bulge on the left heart border with curvilinear calcification, an echo-free space behind the posterior left ventricular wall, and unusual angiographic appearance of the left circumflex coronary artery. The diagnosis was confirmed by pulmonary artery and left ventricular angiography. The patient underwent open heart surgery and a multiloculated submitral annular left ventricular aneurysm which was adherent to the pericardium was successfully resected.

“…Case 1 still maintains good functional capacity and Case 2 has compensated well after treatment for congestive heart failure. However, in spite ofthe high mortality figures for surgical resection of these aneurysms (Abrahams et al, 1962;Chesler et al, 1965;Poltera and Jones, 1973) surgery will be considered as soon as progressive deterioration takes place in either patient.…”

“…Aneurysm of the left ventricle occurring in young people is considered to be a rare condition (Abrahams et al, 1962) and has been described mainly in Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda (Abrahams et al, 1962;Chesler et al, 1965;Poltera and Jones, 1973). These aneurysms are usually submitral or subaortic, the former being more frequent (Abrahams et al, 1962;Cockshott et al, 1967).…”

evaluation of a tumour of the heart. Fourteen days previously he had been admitted to another hospital with acute pneumonia and then transferred to the University Hospital. At that time a chest x-ray film also showed a bulge at the left inferior border of the cardiac silhouette.On admission he was asymptomatic. He referred to occasional bouts of palpitation and dyspnoea on exertion in the recent past. On physical examination the blood pressure was 110/75 mmHg (14-6/10 kPa); the radial pulse was regular and 80/min, and the body temperature 36 8°C. The neck veins were distended 2 cm above the supraclavicular fossa when the patient was reclining at 450, and there was a prominent a wave in the jugular pulse. The cardiac apical impulse was palpable at the 5th left intercostal space over the midclavicular line. There was a loud third heart sound, a fourth heart sound, and a grade 3/6 diastolic murmur, louder in middiastole, increasing on inspiration, and audible at the apex of the heart. Some crepitant rales were present at the right lung base, and a slightly tender liver was palpable 8 cm below the xyphoid process and 6 cm below the right costal margin.Laboratory data included a haemoglobin concentration of 11-7 g/dl, serum protein of 62 g/l (albumin 30 and globulin 32 g/l), and a negative tuberculin test with an original tuberculin concentration of 1:10-000.
