Congenital left ventricular aneurysm is an uncommon cardiac malformation. A 9‐year‐old boy with complaints of dyspnea and palpitation was diagnosed with a left ventricular aneurysm originating from the left ventricle free wall. Aneurysm resection and endoventricular patch repair was performed. Postoperative follow‐up was uncomplicated and follow‐up echocardiographs showed normal left ventricular contractility.
