Özet

Cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) is an uncommon congenital anomaly consequent to an abnormal separation of the atrium during embryological development, determining the persistence of the fibromuscular membrane dividing the right atrium. Based on the severity of the obstruction determined by the membrane, the clinical signs may be silent or appear as heart failure, with consequent ascites, and if there are other associated congenital cardiac anomalies, they could manifest as cyanosis or sudden death. The aim of the present review is to give a professional perspective, considering the defect from different points of view.
