  • Title: [Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interauricular septum: diagnosis with transesophageal echocardiography and computerized tomography].
    Author: de la Morena G, Salas J, Picó F, Campos JV, Ruipérez JA, Torralba M.
    Journal: Rev Esp Cardiol; 1992; 45(7):480-2. PubMed ID: 1439073.
    Abstract:
    Transesophageal echocardiographic and computed tomographic imaging in a patient with lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum and advanced left bundle branch block are presented. Transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a thickening of the atrial septum sparing the fossa ovalis region. Computed tomographic scan at the level of the interatrial septum showed a mass of fat density, and the HIS bundle electrogram showed an advanced infra-his block after intravenous ajmaline. We stress the utility of transesophageal echocardiography in this disorder, and the possible relationship between lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum and conduction disturbances.
