Malalignment of the interatrial and interventricular septal structures is rarely seen
associated with atrioventricular septal defects. Such malalignment gives rise to an
anomalous disposition of the conduction tissue specifically in regard to the siting
of the atrioventricular node. Recognition of this abnormality prior to (or at) surgery
is important if post-operative rhythm problems are to be avoided.
