Aneurysm of atrial septum
Keywords:
aneurysm, atrial septum, congenital heart diseaseAbstract
The authors present two cases of aneurvsm of interatrial septum, one associated with atrial septum defect in asymptomatic children and another without associated pathology. The diagnoses were made by echodopplercardiogram. The literature and treatment were reviewed.
