Case Studies

Platypnoea syndrome caused by atrial septal aneurysm

E Frans, C Timmermans, MC Herregods, H De Geest, W Daenen, M Delanote, and M Decramer

A patient with platypnoea after right pneumonectomy and radiotherapy is described. On transoesophageal contrast echocardiography and cardiac catheterization, an atrial septal aneurysm with interatrial right-to-left shunting was detected. Symptoms disappeared after surgical correction. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with a septal aneurysm and severe platypnoea.
