Congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation. The incidence of left ventricular diverticulum is reported to be 0.05% of all congenital heart malformations. This case series comprised three infants with the diagnosis of congenital left ventricular diverticulum determined by echocardiography. In addition, two of the three babies also were detected to have other cardiac disease. Echocardiography is a useful tool for diagnosing congenital left ventricular diverticulum.

“…Cantrell and colleagues 5 believe that diverticula may derive from abnormal attachment of the heart tube to the yolk sac, which eventually causes a portion of the ventricle to be drawn out as the yolk sac elements recede. This theory would also explain the associated defects, as this abnormal attachment would cause defect in the transverse septum and ventral mesoderm 3,4 . Pomé and colleagues suggested that isolated muscular diverticula may arise from weakness in the ventricle muscle with gradual outpouching from high ventricular pressures 4 …”

Left ventricular diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly. We report two cases of isolated left ventricular diverticulum with a different clinical presentation. The first case was a nine-year-old boy with a history of congestive heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia. The second case was a 51-year-old asymptomatic male with abnormal electrocardiogram. Both patients had the diagnosis confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and underwent successful surgical correction of the abnormality.
