A congenital complex including muscular interventricular septal aneurysm in an adult: case report and review of literature

Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2002 Feb;18(1):25-30. doi: 10.1023/a:1014344415888.

Abstract

Muscular interventricular septum is an extremely rare location for congenital aneurysm. A 48-year-old patient with a muscular interventricular septum aneurysm coexisting with atrial septal defect, pulmonary stenosis and ventricular preexcitation is presented. Three-dimensional echocardiographic reconstruction of the lesion aided in a precise morphologic and quantitative assessment of the condition. The review of 10 previously reported patients with the entity is presented.
