Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart anomaly characterized by an accessory membrane dividing the left atrium.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management and to prevent complications.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of cardiac pathology.
  • Diagnostic workup included transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Findings:

  • Echocardiography revealed the presence of cor triatriatum, accurately delineating the anomalous intra-atrial septum.
  • Both TTE and TEE demonstrated their utility in visualizing the cardiac anatomy and identifying the specific malformation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of echocardiography in diagnosing rare cardiac conditions like cor triatriatum.
