RESUMEN

Left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac congenital anomaly. It is believed to be caused by the impaired development of the endocardial tube during the fourth week of embryologic development. It contains endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium and displays normal contraction. We hereby report a case of a patient with a left ventricular apical diverticulum who presented with unstable angina and was initially misdiagnosed as a ventricular septal defect. Since there were no complications or symptoms associated with the anomaly, the management was conservative. This manuscript also highlights the importance of using multiple diagnostic imaging modalities to exclude differential diagnoses.
