چکیده
Ecocardiografic nu rareori sunt prezente modific\ri la nivelul atriului drept, date de persisten]a unor structuri embriologice care nu s-au resorbit. Diagnosticul [i conduita terapeutic\ ulterioar\ pentru ace[ti pacien]i este greu de stabilit. O astfel de structur\ este valva lui Eustachio, descris\ frecvent [i care uneori se înso]e[te de complica]ii nea[teptate. Raport\m cazul unei paciente cu o mas\ voluminoasã intraatrial\ dreapt\, la care, la ecocardiografia transesofagian\ sa ridicat suspiciunea de tromb, dar f\r\ a se exclude cu certitudine o structur\ embrionar\. Pacienta a prezentat asociat regurgitare aortic\ degenerativ\ semnificativ\, motiv pentru care s-a intervenit chirurgical. Evaluarea intraoperatorie a atriului stâng a ar\tat o valv\ lui Eustachio mare, forma]iunea a fost excizat\, iar examenul anatomopatologic ulterior a confirmat diagnosticul. De[i prezen]a valvei lui Eustachio este considerat\ a fi o situa]ie rar\, ea nu trebuie omis\ din diagnosticul diferen]ial al pacientului cu mas\ intra-atrial\ dreapt\. Cuvinte cheie: valva lui Eustachio, ecocardiografie, mas\ atrial\ dreapt\.

Severe Persistant Cyanosis in a Newborn Due to Prominent Eustachian Valve
ABSTRACTThe valves of right horn of systemic venous sinus are prominent structures within the right atrium during early embryonic period. Involution of these structures may not be complete, resulting in a spectrum of anatomical presentations such as cyanosis. A full-term male neonate referred to our hospital for precise evaluation of severe cyanosis on the first day of life. Echocardiographic e...

متن کاملIntracardiac Eustachian Valve Cyst in an Adult Detected with Other Cardiac Anomalies: Usefulness of Multidetector CT in Diagnosis
We present an unusual case of an intracardiac Eustachian valve cyst observed concurrently with atresia of the coronary sinus ostium, a persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) and a bicuspid aortic valve. There have been several echocardiographic reports of Eustachian valve cysts; however, there is no report of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) findings related to a Eustachian valve cys...

Rheumatic heart disease is a serious health problem in developing countries. The present study was conducted to evaluate clinical and echocardiographic findings of Mitral stenosis and their relationship with patients functional classes. We studied records of 400 patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis (71% female, mostly in 20s or 30s and 54% function class II) treated in two hospitals in Teh...
