Vincent,
Not as such, However, while "although" is written, as you have done so, as a single word, "eventhough" is expressed, in American and British usage, in two words, i.e., "even though".
having siad that, there is a nuance of difference b/w the two expressions in certain, but very few, instances... Allow me to illustrate w/ an example:
Example 1: Same meaning
a) Although she did not want to, Sarah went to the dance.
b) Even though she did not want to, Sarah went to the dance.
Example 2: Slightly different meaning(s)
a) Although it was a cool day, I went swimming.
b) I went swiming even though it was a cool day.
As you can see, while there is a very slight "nuance" of different meaning in "example 2", the two expressions still carry (roughly) the same meaning.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
