Abstract:
A 18-year old girl suffering from effort dyspnea presented to our hospital. She had no previous medical history. The first investigations revealed a linear structure traversing the left atrium. A transoesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated a thin mobile membrane in the atrium. Many investigations were realized to describe better this structure and its contribution to the symptoms. Cor triatrium is a rare congenital disease and its discovery is rare in adulthood. So, there are no guidelines for the optimal management.
