Key result
A right atrial aneurysm in a newborn presented with cardiac failure and multisystem dysfunction.
Why the study?
Aneurysms of the right atrium are extremely rare and can precipitate heart failure, tachyarrhythmias, thrombus formation, and right ventricular compression.
Highlights a rare presentation of right atrial aneurysm in a newborn causing cardiac failure and multisystem dysfunction.

Raises awareness of right atrial aneurysm in neonatal heart failure; leaves open optimal diagnostic and management strategies.
Aneurysms of the right atrium are extremely rare. These aneurysms can be associated with tachyarrhythmia, intracardiac thrombus formation, thromboembolism, and right ventricular compression precipitating heart failure. We report a case of a right atrial aneurysm in a newborn presenting with cardiac failure and multisystem dysfunction.
