Coexistence of Cor triatriatum sinistrum and a prominent Eustachian valve mimicking a Cor triatriatum dextrum
Cor triatriatum is among the rarest of all congenital cardiac abnormalities accounting for 0.1-0.4% of all congenital heart disease. Its coexistence with a very prominent Eustachian valve which mimics a Cor triatriatum dextrum is an exceptionally rare finding in an asymptomatic adult. We report the case of a 44 year old male who presented to our department on observing a pulse rate of 44 beats ...
متن کاملHistological impairment of the mitral valve in an adult patient affected by cor triatriatum sinistrum
In the case of cor triatriatum, as in other congenital abnormalities, especially if discovered in adult age, concomitant pathology of the cardiac valves should be carefully investigated. This demands an adequate pre-operative study, today possible with the modern imaging techniques. Here, we report a 19-year-old woman operated for a cor tiatriatum sinister; the typical fenestrated diaphragm was...
متن کاملCor 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 sinist...
متن کاملCor triatriatum sinister.
C triatriatum is a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly with no known associated genetic abnormalities. Cor triatriatum is generally an isolated anomaly but may be associated with anomalous pulmonary venous return in approximately 10% of patients, patent ductus arteriosus, left superior vena cava, ventricular septal defects, Shone syndrome, tricuspid atresia, Ebstein malformation, atrioventricu...
