Cor triatriatum sinister in a 36-Year-old male with Metabolic Syndrome: A case report in sub-Saharan Africa.

We report the first case of isolated Cor triatriatum sinister in a 36-year-old male with metabolic syndrome in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a rare congenital heart disease that consists of a fibromuscular ring that divides the atrium into two chambers. It can mimic mitral valve stenosis.

Cor Triatriatum in Association With a Unique Form of Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection

Cor triatriatum may be associated with abnormalities of pulmonary venous anatomy. This case report describes a unique form of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection. The patient presented at 5 weeks of age with symptoms of tachypnea and poor feeding. Echocardiography demonstrated cor triatriatum and partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage of the right upper lung. The patient underwent urgent repair of cor triatriatum. It was elected to not address the partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection at that time. The patient returned at age 19 months for elective repair of the anomalous pulmonary venous connection. There was also a large vein connecting the right lower pulmonary veins to the superior vena cava. This was repaired by dividing the superior vena cava along a vertical axis to redirect the flow of the anomalous pulmonary veins through the connecting vein to the left atrium. This report describes the anatomy and surgical approach to a unique form of anomalous pulmonary venous connection.

Cor Triatriatum Dexter: A Rare Cause of Aneurysmal Right Atrium

Cor triatriatum dexter (CTD) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly with a diverse presentation in every age group. We report a case of CTD in a 36-year-old female who presented with palpitations due to giant right atrium (RA), which we managed successfully with surgical excision of the membrane and RA reduction.
