“…If the base of the aneurysm is not wide, plication can be applied as an alternative. 14 Patients with a patent foramen ovale associated with redundant and fenestrated atrial septal aneurysms and a history of multiple transient ischaemic episodes can have percutaneous device closure using the Atriasept™ II septal occluders. Atriasept™ II PFO occluder is a safe and effective device for patients with multiple defects and associated ASAs.…”

“…There was a right-to-left shunt during Valsalva contrast echocardiography. 14 The second patient was a 39 years old male who had a history of repeated episodes of transient hemiparesis. TEE showed a septal aneurysm and PFO tunnel of 5 mm in length with a shunt.…”

“…The thick septum secundum was measured at 12 mm in length. 14 There is a report from Kenya involving a baby, cyanosed at birth with systemic desaturation. The two-dimensional echocardiograms showed tricuspid atresia with hypoplastic right ventricle, large secundum atrial septal defect, and highly mobile gigantic aneurysms of the atrial septum obstructing the inflow of the mitral valve and entering the left ventricle in diastole.…”

Atrial Septal Aneurysm (ASA) is an abnormality of the interatrial septum that has continued to generate interest because of its rarity, asymptomatic presentation and possibility to cause cardioembolic stroke. There are many published accounts of atrial septal aneurysm in USA, Europe and Asia but very few published reports from sub-Saharan Africa. Our first case is a 48 years old female patient with type 1 ASA presented as an incidental finding during echocardiographic investigative procedures for other cardiac diagnosis. The second case is a 58 years old female with type 2L ASA, who presented with transient loss of consciousness lasting for 5 minutes. Our third case is a 25 years old male with type 5 ASA with heart failure who presented with exertional dyspnoea for 3 years. In this presentation, we ask questions about the reason for rare presentations and or publications of atrial septal aneurysm from Africa. We also re-examined the different associations of ASA as well as clinical presentations. ASA is an often asymptomatic but treatable cause of cardiovascular disease that includes cardioembolic stroke. A high index of suspicion is required to make the diagnosis during routine trans thoracic echocardiography and the availability of transesophageal echocardiography will definitely improve diagnosis and management of cases in sub-Saharan Africa.
