The Case of Isolated Double Atrial Septum with Persistent Interatrial Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
Double atrial septum is very rare atrial septal malformation which has double layered atrial septum with persistent interatrial space between the two atria. Clinically, most cases of this anomaly are asymptomatic unless manifest as thromboembolic complications, such as stroke, or transient ischemic attack, that thrombus may be originated from this interatrial space. We report a case of a 69-year-old man who was diagnosed with isolated double atrial septum by transthoracic echocardiography.

Double atrial septum with persistent interatrial space and transient ischaemic attack.
We present the echocardiographic images of a patient with transient ischaemic attack with double atrial septum and persistent interatrial space as probable source of thrombus. A patent foramen ovale could be excluded and a communication between left atrium and interatrial space could be demonstrated.
متن کاملCoronary sinus atrial septal defect without persistent left superior vena cava: Three-dimensional imaging of a rare defect
Coronary sinus defects refer to interatrial communications that lie out of the confines of the atrial septum and leads from left to right shunt through the ostium of the coronary sinus. When associated with persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC), mild systemic desaturation may occur depending on the extent of unroofing of the coronary sinus. Isolated defects without PLSVC are rare. Three-di...
متن کاملAn aneurysmal interatrial septum with a patent foramen ovale and multiple fenestrations closed by a single occluder device.
The patent foramen ovale (PFO) usually is a very small potential opening in the atrial septum. Under the conditions of normal hemodynamics with higher left atrial than right atrial pressures, the septum primum is forced against the foramen by the higher left atrial pressure and there is no actual persistent opening through the foramen. However, with any, even transient, increase in right atrial...
متن کاملDouble atrial septum with interatrial chamber formation and recurrent paradoxical embolism.
Paradoxical embolism is a common cause of cryptogenic stroke. Cardiogenic origin is often the real culprit of unexplained stroke. We report a rare case of double atrial septum with an interatrial chamber and stenosis of the inferior vena cava orifice, which lead to recurrent paradoxical embolism, and then highlight the clinical importance of this rare type of congenital heart disease.
متن کاملCor triloculare biventriculare with left superior vena cava.
Cor triloculare biventriculare is a rare congenital malformation of the heart in which there is a complete absence of the atrial septum. It is usually associated with other anomalies like complete atrioventricular canal defect, polysplenic syndrome, isolated dextrocardia, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, or persistent left superior vena cava. We report a case of a stillborn male foetus of 35 weeks g...
