Left atrial appendage aneurysm is an infrequent condition, which can be congenital or acquired, the latter being mainly associated with rheumatic mitral heart disease and other conditions that increase left atrial pressure. In this case, the echocardiographic study is the ideal method to reach the diagnosis and offer adequate treatment. We report the case of a 78 year old patient with a diagnosis of inactive rheumatic heart disease in whom a left atrial appendage aneurysm secondary to a severe eccentric jet of mitral insufficiency was found, in addition to a patent foramen ovale.
