Key result
Two-dimensional echocardiography permitted the definitive, noninvasive diagnosis of an atrial septal aneurysm in a patient evaluated for a syncopal episode.
Case Report (n=1)
2D echocardiography allows for the definitive, noninvasive diagnosis of atrial septal aneurysms.
May allow noninvasive atrial septal aneurysm diagnosis by 2D echocardiography; leaves open validation in larger cohorts.
A patient who was evaluated for a syncopal episode was found by two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography to have an aneurysm of the atrial septum. The atrial septal aneurysm appeared as a localized outpouching of the atrial septum that protruded into the left atrium during systole and into the right atrium during early diastole. The 2D echocardiography permits the definitive diagnosis of this condition by a noninvasive technique.

Angeles et al. (1992) conducted a case report in Atrial septal aneurysm (n=1). Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnosis of atrial septal aneurysm. Two-dimensional echocardiography permitted the definitive, noninvasive diagnosis of an atrial septal aneurysm in a patient evaluated for a syncopal episode.
