Abstract

Interventricular membranous septal aneurysms are rare. Since these aneurysms can lead to complications such as obstruction of right ventricular outflow and thromboembolism, the detection of this aneurysm has clinical significance. Herein, we report a case of an interventricular membranous septal aneurysm with an internal thrombus thought to be the cause of a cerebral infarction.

심실간 막 중격류는 드문 질환이다. 이 동맥류는 우심실 유출 폐색이나 혈전색전증과 같은 합병증을 유발할 수 있으므로 이 동맥류를 발견하는 것은 임상적으로 의의가 있다. 우리는 뇌경색의 원인으로 생각되는 심실간 막 중격류에 생긴 혈전을 보고하고자 한다.
