What do you see?

In this image, both apical left ventricular aneurysms are caused by ischemic disease, with morphology determined by the site and extent of left anterior descending artery occlusion

The two aneurysms shown differ morphologically as mammillary and saccular and may have distinct etiologies such as ischemia or protozoal infection

The mammillary and saccular apical aneurysms shown may reflect different stages of the same ischemic disease process

Correct! The correct answer is "The two aneurysms shown differ morphologically as mammillary and saccular and may have distinct etiologies such as ischemia or protozoal infection".

Two CT angiography images depict left ventricular apical aneurysms that appear similar but have different diagnoses and characteristics. The first represents a large saccular apical aneurysm as a sequela of acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. The second shows a mammillary-type apical aneurysm typical of Chagas disease, occurring in the absence of coronary artery disease. Mammillary apical aneurysms related to this infection are uncommon on coronary CT angiography and may be mistaken for aneurysmal changes associated with obstructive coronary disease. Chagas disease is endemic in Brazil, and apical aneurysm is a characteristic finding that is more frequently reported on echocardiography than on functional analysis by coronary CT angiography.

Good try! The correct answer is "The two aneurysms shown differ morphologically as mammillary and saccular and may have distinct etiologies such as ischemia or protozoal infection".
