Dissecting aneurysm into the IVS is a rare variant of SOV aneurysm, usually arising from RCC. It is mostly congenital in origin and has wide variety of presentations like congestive heart failure, palpitations, recurrent syncope, chest pain, sudden cardiac arrest, infective endocarditis, cerebral infarction, or asymptomatic. Aortic regurgitation is present in 30-50% of cases. Conduction disturbances from first-degree block to complete heart block are common. Echocardiogram, CT angio, and magnetic resonance imaging are useful for diagnosis. Surgical repair is the only option for treatment.
