الملخص EN

Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a systemic disorder associated with various extrarenal complications.

There is little information regarding the occurrence and distribution of cardiovascular abnormalities during the course of ADPKD.

The major cardiovascular complications of ADPKD include valvulopathies and vascular ectasia.

Aneurysm of the atrial septum (ASA) is a very rare manifestation in ADPKD.

A 37-year-old woman who was diagnosed with ADPKD was admitted to our hospital for advanced renal failure.

Pelvic computed tomography revealed multiple variable-sized cysts in both kidneys.

Transthoracic echocardiography showed ASA while the patient was completely asymptomatic
