We present a case of a 20-year-old Malay man with underlying tuberculous (TB) lymphadenitis who presented with shortness of breath and found to have submitral left ventricular aneurysm (SLVA). SLVA is well recognised but rare. Incidence of SLVA in Malay has never been documented. This is the first reported case of SLVA in Malays with concomitant thoracic aorta mycotic aneurysm. TB has been reported to be associated with SLVA. Treatment is either surgical or conservative. Imaging is required for diagnosis and preoperative assessment. Multimodality imaging include echocardiography (ECHO), cardiac CTangiography and the robust multiparametric cardiac MR (CMR). ECHO is the first line imaging and useful for initial detection of the aneurysm. CMR including the late gadolinium enhancement allows excellent visualisation of the LV aneurysm, tissue characterisation, cardiac function and detection of associated pathology as shown in this case.

Subvalvar mitral aneurysm is a rare entity that mostly occurs in the African population. We present a case of a 23-year-old male patient who presented with shortness of breath and atypical chest pain. On preoperative transthoracic echocardiography, a subvalvar mitral aneurysm was noted with severe regurgitation from the aneurysm opening into the left atrium. The surgical findings revealed a single aneurysm neck present in the posterior mitral valve annulus. In addition to and separate from the aneurysm, a left ventricular to left atrial fistula was present.

Ruptured submitral aneurysm

Abstract: Submitral aneurysm is a rare entity, with around few hundred cases reported till date. Presentation can be varied. We describe here a case of submitral aneurysm in a young male with rupture into the left atrium cavity.
