E-page Original Image: Incidental multislice computed tomography finding of a congenital submitral ventricular aneurysm

Congenital ventricular aneurysms do not have normal layers of ventricular wall, have paradoxical contraction, and they are connected to the main cardiac chamber with a broad neck. A subannular left ventricular aneurysm is very rare, and is mostly considered to be a congenital anomaly. We report on a case of congenital submitral left ventricular aneurysm that was detected with the use of 128-slice multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) and not visualized during echocardiography in a woman presenting with atypical chest pain.
