The right venous valve is critical to the proper development of the fetal heart. As the right venous valve degenerates later in fetal development, residual structures can remain, such as the terminal crest, Eustachian valve, Thebesian valve, and a prominent Chiari network, with a sail-like appearance resembling a spinnaker. While these structures are often incidentally found on adult echocardiograms, we present a case of a term neonate with hypoxia secondary to a persistent right valve of the sinus venosus.

Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

The development of portal hypertension compromises prognosis, especially when it rises above a certain threshold known as clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH). In the consensus conference on Portal Hypertension promoted by the Spanish Association for the Study of the Liver and the Hepatic and Digestive diseases area of the Biomedical Research Networking Center (CIBERehd), different aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension caused by cirrhosis or other diseases were discussed.
