“…The advent of the widespread use of imaging in the evaluation of cardiac disease may explain the rise in frequency of cor triatriatum (19)(20)(21)(22). We expect that this trend will continue as imaging techniques evolve and progress.…”

“…Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return occurs in approximately 15%-25% of cases of cor triatriatum [3,6] . Of these, abnormalities of the left pulmonary veins occur more frequently than those of the right [2,3,9,10] . In patients with cor triatriatum, isolated right-sided anomalous pulmonary venous drainage is uncommon [1,7] .…”

Two-dimensional echocardiography has been successfully used to diagnose cor triatriatum in adults and children, and surgical referral of these patients has been undertaken without preceding cardiac catheterization and angiography. A child with cor triatriatum demonstrated by two-dimensional echocardiography was directly referred for surgical resection. Despite thorough preoperative echocardiographic examination and direct intraoperative inspection of the posterior left atrial chamber, partial anomalous right pulmonary venous drainage was not diagnosed until the postoperative period. The failure to detect this uncommon associated anomaly underscores the limitations of relying on two-dimensional echocardiography as the sole preoperative method of evaluation.

“…Despite being a rare condition, if it is not accompanied by other heart malformations cor triatriatum can be easily corrected surgically 4 , but early diagnosis of symptomatic cases is critical. Although rare in adults 3 , CT was described in septuagenarian and octogenarian patients 5,6 .…”
