title: Giant left ventricular aneurysm.
abstract: A 65 year old lady with known inferior left ventricular aneurysm presented with acute dysphagia and hoarseness. A barium swallow examination confirmed extrinsic compression of the oesophagus. Successful aneurysmectomy resulted in complete relief of the dysphagia and hoarseness. The clinical and radiological features are reviewed.
