An association between atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) and focal cerebro-vascular disease has been suggested. However, the role of ASA as a risk factor for cerebral ischemi...

We report a case of a 34-year-old woman with sudden right hemiplegia and aphasia from occlusion of the left carotid siphon in whom an atrial septal aneurysm was detected by two-dimensional echocard...
متن کامل[Percutaneous treatment of atrial septal aneurysm].
Among a total number of 203 patients with atrial septal defects (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) who were treated by percutaneous closure, we selected 29 (19 with ASD and 10 with PFO) who fulfilled the criteria for atrial septal aneurysm. Eight patients had functional class II or III dyspnea, and 12 had a history of previous cerebrovascular accident (38%). Seven of the patients with ASD, had...

Symptoms disappeared after surgical correction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with a septal aneurysm and severe platypnoea.
