description Giant right atrial aneurysms are rare defects with different clinical presentations ranging from lack of symptoms to heart failure. They are diagnosed based on incidental findings. It is commonly found when echocardiography or chest X-ray is performed. Concurrent congenital heart disease and large atrial size are risk factors that may increase the risks of complications such as thromboembolism, fatal arrhythmias, aneurysm rupture, and sudden death. The best treatment has been controversial, with some patients managed surgically and others conservatively. We present a case of a giant right atrium aneurysm that was incidentally detected during a routine examination. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the right atrial aneurysm.
