title: Atrioventricular septal defect with intact septal structures in a 74-year-old.
abstract: We report the incidental finding at post mortem of deficient atrioventricular septation in the heart of a 74-year-old woman. A review of her clinical history showed little indication of this lesion. The heart had intact septal structures but exhibited other features pathognomonic of atrioventricular septal defect.
