Abstract

We present a case of a congenital left ventricular diverticulum of fibrous type that was surgically repaired. Considering the potential risks such as rupture, systemic thromboembolism, and arrhythmia, an early surgical intervention should be employed for this rare abnormality even in a child without clinical symptoms.
