Abstract

We report a case of a right ventricular outpouching diagnosed during prenatal period. We defined it as an aneurysm because of its thin, hypokinetic wall, and wide neck connecting to the ventricle. Ventricular aneurysms, especially right ventricular aneurysms, are very rare cardiac malformations. Therefore, we describe a rare case of right ventricular aneurysm and the diagnostic features, differential diagnosis, and clinical features of ventricular aneurysms.
