Left ventricular aneurysms and diverticula are severe congenital heart defects. The low prevalence and mostly asymptomatic course of these anomalies do not always allow us to suspect these defects in time and to differentiate them among themselves. That is why early detection of pathology with the help of fetal echocardiography is a key factor in determination of the tactics of patients’ management. The paper reviews the literature and describes a complex case of prenatally diagnosed left ventricular aneurysm.
