Cor triatriatum dexter, atrial septal defect, and Ebstein's anomaly in an adult given a diagnosis by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography: a case report

J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 2004 Jul;17(7):780-2. doi: 10.1016/j.echo.2004.03.036.

Abstract

Cor triatriatum dexter is a very rare congenital abnormality in which the right atrium is divided into two chambers by a membrane. In this abnormality, there is a high incidence of associated congenital abnormalities, particularly of the right heart. In this case study, a 67-year-old man with Ebstein's anomaly, atrial septal defect, and cor triatriatum dexter is presented and echocardiography is discussed as a noninvasive diagnostic tool.
