Multimodality Imaging of a Mass Arising from a Cor Triatriatum Sinister Membrane.

Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging

Published: February 2024

Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare entity characterized by a membrane within the left atrium and posterior to the atrial appendage. This defect may cause obstructive symptoms analogous to mitral stenosis. The authors present a case of an incidentally detected enhancing mass originating from a cor triatriatum sinister membrane, with imaging characteristics most suggestive of myxoma.

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.

Two patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) concomitant with cor triatriatum underwent the staged Norwood procedure following hybrid palliation. Cor triatriatum was diagnosed after birth in both cases. Case 1 with aortic stenosis and mitral atresia underwent bilateral pulmonary artery banding at 2 days of age.
