Incidental muscular LV diverticulum requires multimodality imaging to exclude aneurysm; leaves open natural history and management data in adults.
Congenital ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation. We present the case of a 57-year-old man who underwent cardiac catheterization for suspected unstable angina. No coronary artery disease was diagnosed and a left ventricular diverticulum was incidentally found. Coronary CT and cardiac MRI were performed in order to confirm the diagnosis of a muscular type diverticulum and to exclude a post-ischemic aneurysm.

Romagnoli et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Congenital left ventricular diverticulum (n=1). Multimodality imaging (Coronary CT and Cardiac MRI) was evaluated. Multimodality imaging with coronary CT and cardiac MRI successfully characterized an incidentally discovered congenital left ventricular diverticulum, differentiating it from a post-ischemic aneurysm.
