Wheezing as the sole clinical manifestation of cor triatriatum.

Cardiac malformations involving low-pressure chambers (i.e., either of the atria) are more often diagnosed later in life than lesions that involve high-pressure systems such as ventricular septal defects or persistent ducti arteriosi. Patients with congenital heart disease involving the atria may present only symptoms suggesting lung disease. We report on a child with recurrent episodes of wheezing, which did not respond to albuterol nebulizations and intravenous corticosteroids; he was subsequently found to have cor triatriatum. When a patient suffers from recurrent episodes of lower pulmonary infection and wheezing, despite appropriate management for asthma, less common (including cardiac) causes should be considered.

Divided left atrium associated with supravalvar mitral ring.

Reported is a case with a rare association of divided left atrium, supramitral stenosing ring of the left atrium, connection of the left superior caval vein to the roof of the left atrium, unroofed coronary sinus with an interatrial communication at the mouth of the unroofed sinus and ventricular septal defect. The need for a complete echocardiographic examination in the presence of pulmonary venous obstruction is emphasized. Surgery was successful in spite of significant preoperative pulmonary hypertension.
