Abstract
Background: Partial AV canal defect is a form of endocardial cushion defect infrequently encountered in Adults. It includes an ostium primum atrial septal defect but with two separate atrioventricular valve rings and a cleft in the anterior Mitral valve leaflet. Case Report: We present a case report of 28 years old female, who attended at outpatient department of Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute with the presenting complains of difficulty in breathing on exertion and awareness of heart beat. Clinical and imaging findings are suggestive of partial AV canal defect. Conclusion: Despite atrial septal defect being the third most common form of congenital heart disease in adult patients, we thought the importance of understanding the natural history and clinical significance for its diagnosis, as it may go un detected for some patients making it necessary for this case report.
