The case of a calcified left ventricular aneurysm in a 6-year-old asymptomatic boy is presented. The anomaly was discovered on a routine chest X-ray. The etiology of this condition is discussed. A review of the literature reveals that this is a rare occurrence in children and that the origin is often unknown. Selective left coronary arteriography showed no arterial anomalies but early filling of the right coronary veins, apparently through small AV fistulas. This might have caused some peripheral myocardial underperfusion, followed by myocardial infarction and aneurysm formation. Aneurysmectomy was carried out uneventfully.
