Abstract

Cor triatriatum dextrum is a rare malformation of the right atrium usually without typical signs or symptoms. Today the intra vitam diagnosis of C.t.d. is done by echocardiography and angiocardiography. Once the diagnosis is established, surgical correction of this anomaly is possible in symptomatic patients. When the presence of an abnormal membrane in the right atrium is not recognized before operation, the outcome may be unsatisfactory.

Anomalous dual drainage of the right pulmonary veins in a patient with cor triatriatum: report of a case without scimitar sign.

The majority of patients with partial anomalous drainage of pulmonary veins are asymptomatic during infancy and childhood. Patients with significant left-to-right shunt develop symptoms and benefit from early corrective surgery. Anomalous pulmonary veins draining into inferior vena cava is very rare and frequently encountered in association with scimitar syndrome. The purpose of this case report is to describe a non-scimitar patient with cor triatriatum who had anomalous dual drainage of right pulmonary veins into inferior vena cava/left atrium and anomalous connection of persistent left superior vena cava with a common pulmonary venous chamber. The patient underwent an operation with redirection of anomalous pulmonary venous drainage into left atrium and ligation of persistent left superior vena cava.
