Chronic hiccups can be a rare, previously unreported presentation of a huge congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm in pediatric patients.
Alerts clinicians to atypical LAA aneurysm presentations in children; extends sparse case literature but leaves practice implications open.
Left atrial appendage (LAA) aneurysm is an extremely rare anomaly. So far, less than one hundred cases only have been reported worldwide. Revelation modes are dominated by complications such as arrhythmias and thromboembolic events. We herein report a pediatric case of huge congenital LAA aneurysm with an original revelation mode that has never been described before in medical literature.
