A 6-year-old Caucasian boy presented with a calcified left ventricular aneurysm of unknown aetiology. Aneurysmectomy was carried out uneventfully. A review of the English language papers reveals that this is the first reported case of a calcified left ventricular aneurysm occurring in a Caucasian child.
