Isolated Congenital Left Ventricular Diverticulum in Adults
Isolated congenital ventricular diverticulum or aneurysm is rare and usually arises from the left ventricle. The presentation of this condition is diverse. We report three cases of isolated congenital left ventricular diverticula. The age range was 17-30 years. Chest X-ray provided the earliest clinical suspicion in these three cases of a cardiac anomaly which was diagnosed by echocardiography ...
متن کاملRecurrent cryptogenic stroke in young adult linked to congenital left ventricular diverticulum.
A 47-year-old man had an acute ischemic stroke (IS); brain MRI revealed multiple silent old IS (figure 1A). A comprehensive workup, including prolonged cardiac monitoring (cumulated duration of 25 days) and cardiac transthoracic/transesophageal echography, was negative. Eleven months later, despite statin and aspirin therapy, a new symptomatic embolic IS of undetermined source occurred (figure ...
متن کاملIsolated true contractile left ventricular diverticulum in an adult patient.
Isolated left ventricular diverticulum, which is characterized by local embryologic development failure of ventricular muscle, is a rare cardiac abnormality and it may be found in isolated form or with other cardiac abnormalities. Clinically, it has been reported that it might cause heart failure, arrhythmia or chest pain despite the fact that it may often follow an asymptomatic course. We pres...
متن کاملPeripheral arterial embolism due to a left ventricular diverticulum in a young adult.
A 32-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital after experiencing a peripheral arterial embolism. Investigation of the possible embolic sources in an otherwise asymptomatic patient revealed the existence of a left ventricular diverticulum. The left ventricular diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly, either isolated or as a part of a syndrome including other congen...
متن کاملCongenital diverticulum of the left ventricle. Report of two unusual cases.
Of two infants with congenital cardiac diverticula one had a defect consisting of a submitral valvular diverticulum rather than the expected aneurysm. It was clearly shown by echocardiography as well as angiography and was associated with moderate mitral incompetence and a poorly functioning left ventricular wall. The second infant had an isolated apical left ventricular diverticulum with subno...
متن کاملCongenital left ventricular diverticulum in an adult.
A previously healthy 43-year-old woman presentedwithatypical chest discomfort. On physical examination, no abnormal findings were obtained. The electrocardiogram was not suggestive of ischaemia. Echocardiography revealed an aneurysm extending from the left ventricular posterior wall (Panel C). This pouch showed paradoxical contraction with a relatively thin wall. No thrombus was seen in the lef...
