Activity Title	Case Report: Ostium secundum atrial septal defect with unilateral lung hypervascularity revealing associated right pulmonary artery stenosis
Details	Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a very common congenital heart disease. The aim of this article is to report, from a case report and literature review, diagnostic challenges and the contribution of simple complementary exams, such as chest X-ray, for the diagnostic orientation of an ASD associated with peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, as well as therapeutic particularities. Objectives Course Objective Atrial septal defect (ASD) is often an isolated disease, but its association with other abnormalities can make diagnosis challenging. Careful analysis of simple complementary exams can help precise anatomical diagnosis ensuring suitable treatment. The aim of this article is to report, from a case report and literature review, diagnostic challenges and the contribution of simple complementary exams, such as chest X-ray, for the diagnostic orientation of an ASD associated with peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, as well as therapeutic particularities.. We report the case of a girl born in 2007, with history of dyspnoea and recurrent bronchitis in whom a loud systolic murmur was detected fortuitously at the age of 2 years. Her clinical examination was otherwise normal. The electrocardiogram recorded sinus rhythm, incomplete right bundle branch block, and right ventricular hypertrophy. Chest X-ray showed moderate cardiomegaly and hypervascularity of the left lung field contrasting with ...
