Abstract
We describe an unusual right atrial aneurysm, occurring with progressive obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract and increasing cyanosis, in a nine-month-old boy with chromosome 8(p23.1) deletion. Surgical resection of the diverticulum, and relief of the right ventricular obstruction, was successful, although impairment of right ventricular compliance persists after 19 months follow-up.
