Submitral left ventricular aneurysms are a rare nonischemic aneurysm thought to be developmental in origin. These aneurysms invariably occur at the site of posterior mitral annulus and lead to mitral valve incompetence. We hereby describe a case of a 30‐year‐old adult with a rare form of submitral left ventricular aneurysm involving whole of the posterior mitral annulus. Multimodality imaging with two‐dimensional echocardiography, three‐dimensional echocardiography, computed tomography and invasive left ventriculography helped the patient to undergo successful resection of the aneurysm along with mitral valve replacement.
