Congenital intrathoracic left ventricular diverticulum in an adult

C Suilen, B Friedli and W Rutishauser
University Hospital, Geneva, Switzerland.

A 53-year-old woman without any risk factors for coronary artery disease was found to have a congenital intrathoracic left ventricular diverticulum with a narrow long connection to the left ventricular cavity. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. The diverticulum was resected and showed three normal cardiac layers. This is an extremely rare finding in the adult population.
