The apical four-chamber view revealed a hypermobile inter-atrial septum with at least a 12 mm excursion in either direction (Figs. 2 and 3). We categorized the patient as having a type 5 atrial septal aneurysm (bi-directional and equidistant to the right as well as to the left during the cardio-respiratory cycle; see Figs. 2 and 3).
