Novel Association of Juvenile Polyposis Syndrome With Atrial Septal Aneurysm and Patent Foramen Ovale: A Case Report

We present the case of a young woman diagnosed with juvenile polyposis syndrome and SMAD-4 mutation, who developed embolic strokes from an atrial septal aneurysm and patent foramen ovale. This case highlights the propensity of patients with juvenile polyposis syndrome and SMAD-4 mutations to develop atrial septal aneurysm and patent foramen ovale, and warrants appropriate cardiac workup in at-risk individuals.
