Abstract

A ductus arteriosus aneurysm is a rare congenital lesion with a localized saccular or tubular dilation of the ductus arteriosus. This lesion usually appears in all ages. Some case reports suggest the most common age of diagnosis is less than 2 months. We reported a case of an asymptomatic ductus arteriosus aneurysm in neonates. Echocardiography at 2 days of age revealed a tubular dilation of the ductus arteriosus connected to the pulmonary artery. Computed tomography angiogram showed a ductus arteriosus aneurysm with thrombus at the pulmonary end. It resolved spontaneously in the six months of life without serious complications.
