Anomalies

    • ASD – most common 75% of patients have ASD
    • Carpal bone malformations 100%

ASD SECUNDUM – A DEFECT IN THE SEPTUM PRIMUM
The anatomical specimen shows a delicate septum primum held up with a forceps and a hole is noted in the middle characteristic of an ASD secundum. Unlike the first specimen this defect is a single hole surrounded by a partially intact septum primum. The fossa ovalis is a wide defect above the septum primum. Note the membrane like appearance of the septum primum in the neonate. This seems to add credence to the theory of van Praagh that the septum primum originates from a the left venous valve of the sinus venosus.

The axial image through the heart at atrial septal level shows a flow void through a secundum ASD. The pink blood of the LA is shown shunting across and mixing with the blue blood of the enlarged RA.
