title: [Congenital apical left ventricular aneurysm].
abstract: Congenital ventricular aneurysm is an infrequently occurring disease entity that usually affects the left ventricle. Its etiopathology is unknown. Clinical presentation is variable, and the condition is potentially lethal in some cases. Various imaging techniques are useful in diagnosis and enable the condition to be differentiated from congenital left diverticulum. We present a patient with a calcified congenital ventricular aneurysm who presented with supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and who was treated by surgical resection.
