Atrial septal aneurysm was defined as a protrusion of the interatrial septum or part of it &gt;15 mm beyond the plane of the atrial septum or phasic excursion of the interatrial septum during the cardiorespiratory cycle of at least 15 mm in total amplitude and a diameter of the base of the aneurysm of at least 15 mm. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Atrial septal aneurysms were found in 47 children (1.04%). They involved almost the entire septum in 14 patients (28.89%) and were limited to the fossa ovalis in 33 (71.11%). An atrial septal aneurysm was an isolated structural defect in 17 (35.56%). In 30 (64.44%) patients, it was associated with interatrial shunting \u2013 atrial septal defect and patent foramen ovale. At the echo follow-up after a year, no changes were recorded. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: Prevalence of atrial septal aneurysms is almost 1%. The most common abnormalities associated are interatrial shunts, that is, a patent foramen ovale and an atrial septal defect. From a medical point of view, it is suggested that no action is to be taken during childhood, as a child with an atrial septal aneurysm is not at increased risk compared with a child without one. Follow-up is scheduled on an individual basis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951113000607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,7]],"date-time":"2013-06-07T06:55:24Z","timestamp":1370588124000},"page":"453-458","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Atrial septal aneurysms in childhood: prevalence, classification, and concurrent abnormalities"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Andreas","family":"Giannopoulos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoforos","family":"Gavras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stavroula","family":"Sarioglou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fotini","family":"Agathagelou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Kassapoglou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fani","family":"Athanassiadou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.99.15.1942"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4065\/74.9.862"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.55.8.1172"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)03160-3"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref30","first-page":"579","article-title":"Clinical implications of familial occurrence of atrial septal aneurysm","volume":"9","author":"Werren","year":"2008","journal-title":"G Ital Cardiol"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0894-7317(97)70027-0"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMcp043981"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.91.11.2785"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref2","first-page":"392","article-title":"Aneurrysmatische Vorwolburg der Fossa ovalis in den linken Vorhof","volume":"84","author":"Lang","year":"1934","journal-title":"Wien Med Wochenschr"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.20391"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.104.524371"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0735-1097(85)80228-X"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000313439"},{"key":"S1047951113000607_ref3","unstructured":"Olivares-Reyes A , Al-Kamme A , Gonzalez J .
