Abstract
|
|
|
|
Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital malformation of the heart characterized by a fibromuscular membrane dividing the atrium into two distinct chambers. In the majority of cases, it is diagnosed in early childhood, whereas adult cases are extremely rare [1,2]. The hemodynamics of cor triatriatum are similar to those of mitral stenosis, which sometimes cause embolic infarction. We describe an unusual case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 48-year-old man who presented with relapsed embolic infarction.
