Article Synopsis
  • Crista terminalis is a fibromuscular ridge in the right atrium that separates smooth and muscular regions, and when prominent, it can be mistaken for thrombus or tumors.
  • Accurate differentiation between crista terminalis and other masses is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary anxiety for patients.
  • The case highlights the use of two-dimensional and three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography to identify the unique features of a prominent crista terminalis.

Background: The escalation of global population aging has accentuated the prominence of senile diabetes mellitus (SDM) as a consequential public health concern. Oxidative stress and chronic inflammatory cascades prevalent in individuals with senile diabetes significantly amplify disease progression and complication rates. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) emerges as a pivotal player in enhancing blood sugar homeostasis and retarding complication onset in the clinical management of senile diabetes.

The crista terminalis is an anatomical structure localized on the posterolateral wall of the right atrium (RA). We performed a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis concerning cases of unusual prominent crista terminalis mimicking RA mass. Moreover, we described the differential diagnosis of cardiac masses with the use of echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
