A communication from the left ventricle to the right atrium: a defect in the central fibrous body.
An isolated defect in the membranous atrioventricular septum was found in a five-year-old girl who presented with a cystic lesion in the right atrium. This type of left ventricular-right atrial communication could result from a structural abnormality of the central fibrous body in combination with arrested maturation of the membranous ventricular septum.
