Abstract

This case report describes a unique form of a left ventricular diverticulum in a 17-year-old patient. Echocardiography, angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging including virtual endoscopy complete a detailed picture of the size and texture of a diverticulum, as well as the localisation of the two connections into the left ventricle.
