Submitral left ventricular aneurysm is a rare but challenging cardiac pathology which was first reported in Nigeria by Abrahams et al. predominantly in African black population and rarely reported in Brazilian, Iranian and Indian population. Etiology remains mysterious but it is believed to be due to congenital weakness in fibrous layer of atrio-ventricular junction in area of posterior mitral leaflet often in the region of AV groove and in absence of ischemic infective or traumatic disease. Various consequences such as calcification, thrombus formation, myocardial ischemia, cerebral embolism, ventricular arrhythmia and rupture, if untreated are invariably fatal. Only 38 cases have been reported in the literature so far and we report the case of a patient who required the surgical resection of the defect with aneurysmorrhaphy and mitral valve replacement.
