Double atrial septum is very rare atrial septal malformation which has double layered atrial septum with persistent interatrial space between the two atria. Clinically, most cases of this anomaly are asymptomatic unless manifest as thromboembolic complications, such as stroke, or transient ischemic attack, that thrombus may be originated from this interatrial space. We report a case of a 69-year-old man who was diagnosed with isolated double atrial septum by transthoracic echocardiography.
双心房隔是一种非常罕见的房间隔畸形,其心房隔为双层结构,两心房之间存在持续的房间隙。临床上,这种异常的大多数病例无症状,除非表现为血栓栓塞并发症,如中风或短暂性脑缺血发作,血栓可能起源于这个房间隙。我们报告一例69岁男性患者,经胸超声心动图诊断为孤立性双心房隔。
