Radiol Case Rep

Department of Radiology, Baptist Health South Florida, Miami, FL, USA.

Published: April 2023

We report a case of non-thrombosed cor triatriatum sinister simulating a cardiac mass on thoracic CT angiogram in a 58-year-old man presenting with acute chest pain. Following additional imaging with cardiac CT and MRI, and otherwise unremarkable cardio-pulmonary work-up, diagnosis of presumably coincidental cor triatriatum was established.

Article Synopsis
  • Cor Triatriatum Dexter (CTD) is a rare heart defect that splits the right atrium into two chambers, with a milder version called incomplete CTD (CTDi) that only partially divides it.
  • CTDi can be linked to interatrial septal defects and often presents in adults who experience cryptogenic strokes, usually leading to referrals for closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
  • Successful PFO closure in patients with CTDi can be challenging due to complications in visualization and device deployment, making advanced imaging techniques and careful planning essential for positive outcomes.
