“…Similar experience has been reported in a previous case of divided right atrium in which the diagnosis was made with the help of catheterization. 7 Strong evidence of supra-hepatic venous obstruction, nonetheless, was provided by histological examination of the liver biopsy in our case. The differential diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome was also considered, since it is an important potential cause of this clinical picture.…”

Ascites and weight loss in a child: due to congenital division of the right atrium

Congenital division of an atrial chamber is a very rare congenital malformation that more commonly affects the left atrium but which may, in rare circumstances, involve the right atrium. Such a divided right atrium may present with symptoms consistent with increased portal venous pressure. Reported is a case with unusual clinical presentation. The patient underwent resection of the dividing shelf with good postoperative results.

“…1 Cor triatriatum dexter can occur as an isolated cardiac anomaly or associated with other malformation of right heart structures such as pulmonary artery stenosis or atresia, tricuspid valve abnormality, ASD, and Ebstein anomaly. 6,7 CTD can be diagnosed by echocardiography 3,8 and magnetic resonance imaging, although caution is needed since a prominent eustachian valve can simulate the defect. Either of these imaging techniques can show the right atrium divided into 2 chambers: a posterior chamber into which the vena cava drain, and an anterior one that contains the atrial appendage.…”

Cor triatriatum dexter is a rare congenital heart anomaly where the right atrium is divided into two chambers by a membrane. We report a lady who present to us with orthopnea,engorged pulsatile neck veins, pulsatile enlarged liver and bilateral pedal edema. A diagnosis of multivalvular rheumatic heart disease (RHD) was made clinically. Echocardiography showed mitral stenosis (MS) with aortic regurgitation (AR) with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with cortriatriatum dexter. Key Messages:Usually cortriatriatum dexter is associated with other congenital diseases like atrial septal defect (ASD),partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections (PAPVC) etc. Here it is associated with RHD masqueriding as tricuspid stenosis, hence very rare and worth reporting.

“…Patients with obstructive symptoms need surgical or percutaneous resection of the membrane. 9,10 We recommended surgical treatment primarily for ASD and other cardiac lesions but she and her family denied operation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report or a rare variant of CTD diagnosed by TTE.…”

Cor Triatriatum Dexter, Atrial Septal Defects, and Pulmonary Stenosis—A Rare Association

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly in which the right atrium is divided into 2 chambers by a membrane. The estimated incidence of cor triatriatum has been reported as 0.1% of congenital cardiac malformations. The septation of the right atrium in the setting of CTD is the result of failed resorption of the right valve of the sinus venosus. This results in anterolateral and posteromedial portions of the divided right atrium. CTD can be diagnosed at any age, especially if it is incidentally discovered.
