| Popis: | Aneurysms of the membranous septum are extremely rare malformations that are usually asymptomatic. However, they have the potential for varied complications including sudden cardiac death. Reported here is a case of sudden death in a 25-year-old woman. A medico-legal autopsy revealed a large aneurysm of the membranous septum. It is speculated that the infiltration of fibrous tissue from the aneurysm into the atrioventricular conduction axis may have led to the observed mortality. |
