Özet

Right atrial aneurysm is a rare abnormality of the heart. This defect is seen in all age groups and is usually diagnosed incidentally. The aneurysm can be asymptomatic or present with symptoms related to supraventricular arrhythmias or thromboembolic phenomenon. We present the case report of a 74-year-old male with right atrial aneurysm which was incidentally detected during echocardiographic evaluation.
