Abstract:
Congenital diverticula of the cardiac ventricle have been reported as arising either from the left ventricule or, rarely from both ventricules. A diverticulum arising from the right ventricle alone is very rare. Double chambered right ventricle(DCRV) was first described in 1962 by Lucas et al, and account for 1.5% of congenital heart disease. Right ventricular diverticulum are associated with right ventricle outlet obstructive disease, tetralogy of fallot, double outlet right ventricle, pulmonic stenosis, ventricular septal defect, left ventricule-right atrium communication, persistant truncus arteriosus. DCRV are freqently associated with ventricular septal defect(80%), pulmonic stenosis(33%), renal anormaly(43%). Treatment consist of suture of diverticulum and resection of septum. We report a case of double chambered right ventricle with congenital right ventricular true diverticulum in 62 years of female patients admitted due to anterior chest pain and mild exertional dyspnea.
