Abstract

Cor triatriatum dextrum is a rare malformation of the right atrium usually without typical signs or symptoms. Today the intra vitam diagnosis of C.t.d. is done by echocardiography and angiocardiography. Once the diagnosis is established, surgical correction of this anomaly is possible in symptomatic patients. When the presence of an abnormal membrane in the right atrium is not recognized before operation, the outcome may be unsatisfactory.

Definitive diagnosis of cor triatriatum with common atrium by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography in an adult.

We describe an adult patient, in whom three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography was able to make a definitive diagnosis of cor triatriatum associated with common atrium. The lesion mimicked a classical partial atrio-ventricular septal defect on both transthoracic and transesophageal two-dimensional echocardiography. We found only two cases in the literature describing the existence of cor triatriatum with common atrium, none diagnosed by echocardiography.

Cor triatriatum sinister presenting in the adult as mitral stenosis.

Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital defect in which the left atrium is divided by a fibromuscular membrane into two distinct chambers. Classically, patients present in infancy although in some cases they remain asymptomatic until adulthood. The clinical features on presentation can mimic those of mitral stenosis due to the obstructive properties of the membrane. Cor triatriatum sinister presented in this case in an adult as mitral stenosis. Factors that may be relevant in determining late presentation are also discussed.
