A case of enormous Chiari's network in a 7-year-old girl is described. It formed a parachute or spinnaker-like sack which moved freely into the pulmonary artery causing mild pulmonic stenosis. The preoperative diagnosis was believed to be myxoma of the right ventricle. The real condition was recognized during the operation. This is the seventh reported case of correction of so-called cor triatriatum dextrum.

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.
