Abstract :
Ventricular septal aneurysm (VSA) is a very rare clinical condition with a reported frequency of 0.3% among patients with congenital heart disease (1). VSAs have a well defined association with ventricular septal defects (VSD). However, association with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is to be defined yet. We herein present a case with VSA and HCM, and use of Live/Real Time Three-Dimensional Transesophageal Echocardiography in differential diagnosis of this condition.
