Abstract :
A 10-month-old girl was referred to the pediatric cardiology
clinic due to a cardiac murmur. On initial physical examination her second heart sound was somewhat more widely split with inspiration, and a grade 1-2/6 systolic ejection murmur was heard at
the pulmonic region. The echocardiogram revealed a very large fenestrated atrial septal aneurysm with marked mobility, prolapsing
from the tricuspid orifice into the right ventricle (Fig. 1 and Video
1). Color-image echocardiography demonstrated a patent foramen
ovale and a multi-fenestrated atrial septum
