Abstract
İnteratriyal septumun lipomatöz hipertrofisi nadir görülen, interatriyal septumda kalınlaşmaya neden olan yağlı infiltrasyonla karakterize benign bir durumdur. Genellikle benign ve asemptomatiktir ancak nadiren klinik olarak önemli atriyal fibrilasyon, atriyoventriküler blok ve vena cava süperior obstrüksiyonuyla birlikte olabilir. Kadınlarda, yaşlılarda ve obezlerde daha sık görülür. BT ve MR görüntülemede fossa ovalisin korunmasına bağlı tipik ‘dumbbell’ veya ‘bilobed’ şekli oluşur.
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum is a rare entity, characterized by excessive deposition of adipose tissue that may result in marked thickening of the atrial septum. Although benign and frequently asymptomatic, it is of clinical importance as it is associated with atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block and vena cava superior obstruction. Typically occurs in the female, elderly and obese people. The fossa ovalis is generally spared, giving it a characteristic ‘dumbbell’ or ‘bilobed’ shape on the CT and MR imaging.
