- Abstract: Permanent left superior vena cava aneurysm is a rare mediastinal venous lesion，the majority of the literature is in the form of case reports. In this article，a 50-year-old female with an incidental permanent left superior vena cava aneurysm discovered on echocardiography in Nanjing Gulou Hospital，and the right heart contrast-enhanced echocardiographic played an important role in the process of clear diagnosis. The patient was observed without intervention. No complications were attributable to the permanent left superior vena cava aneurysm during follow-up.
