Abstract:
Cor triatriatum sinister is rare congenital heart disease. It is defined as the presence of an abnormal septum dividing the left atrium into two chambers, and in some cases may be associated with a total abnormal pulmonary venous connection. Prenatal diagnosis of cor triatriatum sinister may be possible with fetal echocardiography and the diagnosis can be made earlier than postnatal imaging techniques. In the fetal echocardiography performed in our patient, cor triatriatum sinister was present and the main pathology was the flow of right and left pulmonary vein return from the accessory atrium to the right atrium.

Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the...
Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.

Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
Coronary Circulation
Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...
