Abstract
Inferior sinus venosus ASD (atrial septal defect) is a rare congenital cardiac deformity, that occurs on between the inferior vena cava and right atrium. Diagnosis of inferior sinus venosus ASD is difficult because of its infero-posterior location of the fossa ovalis. Therefor, exact anatomical diagnosis by preoperative and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is necessary at preoperation and during the operation. We present a case of residual ASD, which was diagnosed secundum ASD and repaired when the patient was 10 years old. Residual ASD was diagnosed by cardiac echocardiography in preparation of otorhinolaryngology operation. Therefore, reoperation of residual ASD was done when the patient was 24 years old. The patient had secundum ASD and inferior sinus venosus ASD, but in the prior operation, inferior sinus venosus ASD wasn't found and only secundum ASD was repaired. In reoperation, inferior sinus venosus ASD was reveled and patch closure was done.
난원와 하부에 위치하는 하정 맥동형 심방중격결손증(inferior sinus venclsus defect)은 매우 드문 선천성심질환으로 수술 전 이차공형 심방중격결손증과 감별이 어렵고 수술 중에도 발견하기가 쉽지 않다. 저자들은 10세 때에 심방중격결손증으로 단순 봉합술 시행 후 별 문제없이 지내다가 이비인후과 수술 위한 사전 검사로 시행한 심장초음파 검사상 잔여 심방중격결손증이 발견된 24세 여자 환자에서 심방중격결손증 재수술을 시행하였다. 환자는 이차공형 심방중격결손증과 하정맥동형 심방중격결손증을 동시에 가지고 있었으나 일차수술에서 하정맥동형 심방중격결손증을 발견하지 못하여 이차공형 심방중격결손증만 교정된 상태였고, 금번 재수술에서 하정맥동형 심방중격결손증을 확인하고 패취 봉합을 시행하였다.
