Abstract

Left ventricular diverticulum is a rare abnormality for which diagnosis is often delayed due to its asymptomatic character. Multimodal imaging can help in diagnosis of this potentially confusing condition. We present a 48-year-old female patient with a medical history of a paradoxical thromboembolic events who benefited from the closure of a patent foramen oval in another center. She presented a year later at our department for a lower back pain where an incidental finding of a congenital left ventricular diverticulum was made on a contrasted computed tomography scan.
