title: Aortico-right atrial tunnel in an adult patient.
abstract: We describe an asymptomatic 27-year-old man who presented a continuous murmur, and was found to have a tunnel between the aorta and the right atrium. Successful surgical treatment was performed. We emphasize the rarity of this condition, and discuss its major features.
