Spontaneous inversion of left atrial appendage.
Inversion of the left atrial appendage is a rare phenomenon and frequently occurs as a complication following cardiac operations. Spontaneous inversion is even rarer, and so far, only three cases have been reported. We report an additional case of spontaneous inversion in 4-month female with Down's syndrome, hypothyroidism, and complete atrioventricular canal defect.
