Abstract
Atrial septal aneurysm is one the cardiac congenital malformation which either confines itself to the thin fibrous remnant sheet of Fossa ovalis or involve whole of the septum between right and left atrium .This aneurysmal septum looms out either towards right or left atrium during cardiac cycle. Once considered to be a rare now being more frequently diagnosed in patient with wide spread use of 2-D Transthoracic Echocardiography for screening the preanesthetic patient. It is usually asymptomatic, but may be associated with other congenital anomaly like Patent Foramen Ovale, Patent Ductus Arteriosus, or may present with atrial arrhythmias or cryptogenic strokes.
Keywords: Sinus Tachycardia, Atrial Septal Aneurysm, Transthoracic Echocardiography, Congenital Anomaly, Anaesthesia.
