The aortic valve was thickened and there was a large congenital
atrial septal defect of the ostium secundum variety measuring 25 mm.
He further informed about the symptoms of
atrial septal defect may not appear until adulthood despite the presence of the defect since birth and when symptoms do occur, they include difficulty in breathing, frequent respiratory infections and shortness of breath.

Partial Atrioventricular septal defect is a congenital malformation of atrioventricular canal with crescent shaped
atrial septal defect above the AV valve but no ventricular septal defect below this valve and have two separate right and left AV valves with cleft in left AV valve.

Ectopia cordis is frequently accompanied by congenital heart disorders including ventricular septal defect,
atrial septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, fallot tetralogy, right ventricular diverticle, double outlet right ventricle and more rarely with single ventricle, transposition of the great arteries and atrioventricular septal defect (1, 7, 9, 11).
