  • Title: Giant interatrial septal aneurysm mimicking a right atrial tumor.
    Author: Malaterre HR, Cohen F, Kallee K, Deharo JC, Djiane P.
    Journal: Int J Card Imaging; 1998 Jun; 14(3):163-6. PubMed ID: 9813752.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient with a giant interatrial septum aneurysm who was admitted to our hospital for analysis of palpitations. Transthoracic echocardiography was not contributive and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a small interatrial septal aneurysm. In our study, only transesophageal echocardiography provided the correct diagnosis, showing a giant interatrial septal aneurysm protruding far away into the right atrium and mimicking a right atrial cystic tumor.
