Left Atrial Thrombus is uncommon in neonates. We present a neonate who had Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT), whose echocardiography revealed a large left atrial thrombus which resolved later with treatment. Supra Ventricular Tachycardia (SVT) is not an uncommon event in infants with an incidence of 1:2500.
