Abstract

Left atrial appendage aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly. It can be congenital in origin or acquired secondary to inflammatory or degenerative processes. As it may cause potentially lethal arrhythmias or thrombi, surgical treatment is needed immediately after the diagnosis. In this article, we report a case of an asymptomatic three-year-old boy with a congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm. The patient was successfully treated with surgical resection of the aneurysm.

Özet

Sol atriyal apendiks anevrizması, nadir rastlanan bir kar- diyak anomalidir. Doğuştan oluşabileceği gibi, enflama- tuvar veya dejeneratif süreçlere sekonder edinsel olarak da gelişebilir. Potansiyel ölümcül aritmilere veya trombüs oluşumuna neden olabileceği için, tanı konulur konulmaz cerrahi tedavi gereklidir. Bu yazıda üç yaşında asemp- tomatik bir erkek çocukta saptanan doğuştan sol atriyal apendiks anevrizma olgusu sunuldu. Hasta anevrizmanın cerrahi eksizyonu ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edildi.
