We present the case of a 34‐year‐old female who was admitted to our hospital due to community‐acquired pneumonia and had a transthoracic echocardiogram which revealed an aneurysm of the membranous interventricular septum. This was further investigated with a transesophageal echocardiogram which showed in detail the anatomical features of this very rare condition.
