    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterized by a variable degree of partitioning of the left atrium.
    • It can occur in isolation or with other cardiac defects, significantly impacting clinical presentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on twenty cases of cor triatriatum, detailing the diagnostic methods, anatomic subtypes, and associated anomalies.
    • To correlate clinical findings with specific anatomic types and the presence of associated cardiac lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis was confirmed through necropsy in 16 cases and surgical exploration in 4 cases.
    • Anatomic classification included diaphragmatic, hourglass, and tubular types based on necropsy findings.

    Main Results:

    • Three distinct anatomic types of cor triatriatum were identified: diaphragmatic (10 cases), hourglass (3), and tubular (3).
    • Isolated cor triatriatum typically presented with pulmonary venous and arterial hypertension.
    • Cases with associated anomalies showed varied clinical presentations, complicating diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Cor triatriatum exhibits diverse anatomic presentations and clinical manifestations.
    • The presence of associated cardiac anomalies significantly influences the clinical picture and diagnostic approach.
    • Accurate diagnosis and classification are crucial for understanding the pathophysiology and guiding management.
