Intrapericardial left atrial aneurysm diagnosed by transoesophageal echocardiography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging

L Gullestad et al. Eur Heart J. 1991 Feb.

Abstract

A case of intrapericardial left atrial aneurysm is described in a 38-year-old woman, who presented with invalidating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The diagnosis was suspected by 2D-echocardiography, and confirmed by transoesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging. Chest X-ray, right and left ventricular and coronary angiography were normal. The aneurysm was surgically removed, and the patient has subsequently remained free from symptoms.
