We present a 4-month old infant boy accidentally detected to have cardiomegaly on a chest radiograph, and on further investigation discovered to have a giant right atrial aneurysm and a secundum atrial septal defect. Congenital right atrial aneurysm or diverticulum is a rare anomaly, usually presenting with atrial or supraventricular tachycardia. Previously reported patients did not have any associated congenital heart defect. Although asymptomatic our patient needs close follow-up, and surgical resettion of the aneurysm and closure of the atrial septal defect in view of potential complications.
我们报告一名4个月大的男婴,胸部X线片偶然发现心脏扩大,进一步检查发现有巨大右房动脉瘤和继发孔型房间隔缺损。先天性右房动脉瘤或憩室是一种罕见的异常,通常表现为房性或室上性心动过速。既往报道的患者没有任何相关的先天性心脏缺陷。尽管我们的患者无症状,但鉴于潜在并发症,仍需要密切随访,并对动脉瘤进行手术切除及关闭房间隔缺损。
