The left atrial appendage (ALL) is a fingerlike muscular extension of
the left atrium and its congenital absence is considered as an extremely

processes intended for other purposes .Therefore we report a case of
congenital absence of left atrial appendage in a 68 years old female who
was going to proceed a left atrial appendage occlusion for ischemic
stroke in whom we observed the absence of left atrial appendage by
Real-Time 3D Transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE).
