Abstract

Atrial septal aneurysm is a congenital or acquired malformation of the interatrial septum characterized by bulging of the septum through the fossa ovalis. It's course can be either without any clinical symptom or with cerebral and peripheral embolic events. The investigations suggest that atrial septal aneurysm has higher prevalance in young patients with cerebral ischemic event of unknown cause. It can be detected by transesophageal echocardiography. In this article, we discuss the role of atrial septal aneurysm in cerebrovascular events because of a case who has transient ischemic attack and atrial septal aneurysm.

Özet

Atrial septal anevrizma, interatrial septumun fossa ovalis bölgesinden fıtıklaşması ile oluşan konjenital ya da akkiz bir malformasyondur. Nadir görülen bu lezyon, klinik bulgu vermeden seyredebileceği gibi serebral ve periferik damar ambolilerine neden olabilmektedir. Özellikle genç iskemik serebral olaylarda ve sebebi belirlenemeyen embolilerde, son yıllarda artan oranda etiyolojik bir neden olarak bildirilmektedir ve olguların tanısında transözefagial ekokardiografi kullanılmaktadır. Bu yazıda, geçici iskemik atak tablosuyla izlenen bir olgumuzda atrial septal anevrizma belirlenmiş ve nadir görülen bu lezyonun iskemik serebrovasküler olaylardaki rolü tartışılmıştır.
