title: Congenital left atrial aneurysms: clinical characteristics and cross-sectional echocardiographic features.
abstract: Congenital intrapericardial aneurysm of the left atrial wall is a rare anomaly with protean manifestations. Subtle electrocardiographic and chest radiographic abnormalities often give a clue to this disease. This study describes clinical characteristics, cross-sectional and Doppler echocardiographic features of this anomaly in 4 young male patients.
