摘要：

The ventricular septal defect (VSD) can rarely be associated with other malformations such as double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) in which hypertrophied muscle bundles divide the right ventricle into two chambers causing progressive obstruction (Mao et al., Asia Pac J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 5:14-17, 1996). Most VSDs close spontaneously by apposition of the tricuspid leaflets, but the process is rarely disrupted, resulting in communication between left ventricle and right atrium called Gerbode defect [Cho et al., J Cardiovasc Ultrasound 19(3):148-151, 2011]. Hence, the Gerbode defect involves potential misinterpretation of its high-velocity shunt as pulmonary hypertension. Here we present a case with DCRV and Gerbode defect initially misdiagnosed to have Eisenmenger syndrome. © 2012 Japanese Society of Echocardiography.
