Left atrial appendage aneurysm ( LAA AN ) is a rare disease entity, which can be congenital or acquired in nature. We report an adult patient with LAA AN presenting with anginal chest pain in whom live / real time three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3 DTTE ) provided incremental value over the two‐dimensional (2D) technique in providing a more comprehensive assessment of the lesion. A literature review of the salient features of LAA AN is also provided in a tabular form.
