A member asked:
8m old dx with valve incompetent foramen ovale w/ trivial l to r flow through 2mm gap btw valve of fossa ovalis &upper rim of foramen. what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hole in the heart: Foramen ovale normally closes completely after birth and stays closed for life. It is relatively common to see incomplete closure in children that will spontaneously resolve. A 2mm defect is very small. The physician will decide what level (if any) of continued monitoring is necessary.
