ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Ruptured interventricular septal aneurysms are rare. We present a case of an interventricular membranous septal aneurysm in a 7-year-old boy who presented with features of congestive heart failure, 2 years after undergoing a patch closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect and tricuspid valve repair. Material and methods andresults:
Transthoracic echocardiography suggested the presence of an aneurysm that has ruptured into the right ventricle (RV), however, the precise origin of the aneurysm could not be identified on echocardiography. Subsequently, a computed tomography (CT) angiography was done which revealed that the aneurysm was originating from the membranous interventricular septum with evidence of rupture into the RV inflow.DISCUSSION:
Due to its close proximity to the aortic annulus, an aneurysm of the membranous interventricular septum may be confused with a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, especially if the former is associated with aortic regurgitation.CONCLUSION:
This case highlights the importance of CT in the precise differentiation of these two abnormalities.Palavras-chave
