先天性左心耳动脉瘤是一种罕见的异常，通常在成年后出现。该病例为一名55岁男性，死于左心耳先天性动脉瘤血栓引发的脑栓塞。 11年前的心脏轮廓提示有心脏肿瘤或心包囊肿。从已发表的14例病例来看，这些动脉瘤的主要表现是X线心脏轮廓异常、室上性心动过速和全身性栓塞。心血管造影似乎是确定诊断的首选方法。动脉瘤切除术是推荐的治疗方法。
Congenital aneurysm of the left atrial appendage is a rare anomaly, usually presenting in adult life. The case reported is that of a 55-year-old man who died of cerebral embolism originating from a thrombus in a congenital aneurysm of the left atrial appendage. The cardiac silhouette 11 years previously had suggested a cardiac tumour or a pericardial cyst. As judged frm 14 published cases, the major manifestations of these aneurysms are an abnormal cardiac silhouette in the x-ray, supraventricular tachycardia, and systemic embolism. Angiocardiography appears to be the method of choice in establishing the diagnosis. Resection of th aneurysm is the recommended form of treatment.
