[Atrial septal aneurysm and cerebrovascular diseases].
Atrial septal aneurysm has a prevalence of 1% in the general population. A case is presented where a clinically healthy man had three cerebellar ischemic events on the basis of an atrial septal aneurysm. The literature on the subject is reviewed, and the importance of transoesophageal echocardiography is emphasized.
