“…However, we could not determine whether the formation of the atrioventricular septal aneurysm in this case was caused by aneurysmal transformation of an atrioventricu- 442 Lin/Hwang/Chiu Cerebral Embolism from the Thrombus in the Atrioventricular Septal Aneurysm lar septal defect as described by Sodakada et al [2], or due to idiopathic weakness of the membranous portion of the atrioventricular septum. Because the atrioventricular sep tal aneurysm is a pouch, blood within the aneurysm is lia ble to stasis, predisposing the blood to thrombus forma tion.…”

Atriventricular septal aneurysm is a rare finding. Thrombus within the atrioventricular septal aneurysm has never been reported. Here, we report a girl with sudden-onset hemiparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the patient’s head revealed a lesion at the right basal ganglion. Cerebral infarction was impressed. A series of examinations was performed to find the source of the cerebral embolism. Transthoracic echocardiography further showed a thrombus in the aneurysm. A subsequent operation revealed a fresh thrombus in the aneurysm. The presence of an anatomic substrate such as this might justify anticoagulation treatment or even surgical intervention before thromboembolism occurs.

Atrioventricular Block in an Infant With an Atrioventricular Septal Aneurysm

A case of atrioventricular (AV) septal aneurysm presenting in late fetal life with AV block is reported. In the neonatal period, second-degree AV block occurred, which progressed during infancy to complete block. This report includes ante- and postnatal echocardiograms demonstrating the anatomy. Only three other reports of AV septal aneurysm are found in the literature, none of which describe heart rhythm disturbance.
