Left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac abnormality characterised by focal protrusion of the ventricular wall containing all the three layers with synchronous contractility. They have been described more commonly in paediatric patients and may be seen associated with congenital midline thoracoabdominal abnormalities. There are few reports of left ventricular diverticulum in cases of patent ductus arteriosus and coarctation with subaortic diverticula in the bicuspid aortic valve. Here, we report a case of left ventricular diverticulum in association with bicuspid aortic valve and pseudocoarctation in a 53-year-old female patient with a pertinent review of the literature.
