title: [Aneurysm of the atrial septum diagnosed by trans-esophageal echocardiography].
abstract: We report an uncommon case of atrial septal aneurysm associated with mitral valve prolapse. A 28 year old woman was studied with transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Transthoracic echocardiography suggested mitral valve prolapse. TEE with color mapping was performed. Atrial septal aneurysm and mitral valve prolapse was found. The study has shown that TEE can evaluate accurately some of the anatomic features of atrial septal aneurysm and color flow mapping can provide accurate information about the blood flow in the lesion. We believe that TEE may be the safest and most accurate investigative technique for diagnosing this rare lesion.
