Résumé :

This report delineates a case of atrial septal aneurysm in which the motion of the aneurysmal septum was related to phasic respiratory variations. Although atrial septal aneurysm is a well-recognized morphologic entity, its rarity explains the lack of echocardiographic reports. There is only one recent study that described such an aneurysm associated with normal atrial pressures, with data concerning the relationship of its motion with cardiac cycle and respiration.
