Abstract

We present the case of a 34-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital due to community-acquired pneumonia and had a transthoracic echocardiogram which revealed an aneurysm of the membranous interventricular septum. This was further investigated with a transesophageal echocardiogram which showed in detail the anatomical features of this very rare condition.

Keywords: aneurysm; congenital heart defects; septum; transesophageal echocardiography; transthoracic echocardiography.
