Echocardiographic diagnosis of giant coronary aneurysm: a case report

Giant coronary artery aneurysms are uncommon and may be congenital or acquired. Few cases of Giant coronary artery aneurysms have been reported in the literature. We describe a case of giant coronary artery aneurysm located in the pericardial cavity of a 61-year-old female. The patient presented with recurrent palpitations and shortness of breath after physical activity. Transthoracic echocardiographic revealed a 10.3 cm x 9.2 cm spherical mixed echo mass in the left ventricular wall within the pericardial cavity. A surgical resection was performed with an excellent outcome and no abnormal signs after 1-year follow-up.
