Cor triatriatum presenting in adulthood is extremely rare. An 18-year-old female patient presented with a clinical picture masquerading mitral valvular heart disease. Both transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated a membrane in the left atrium with no other cardiac anomaly. The patient was successfully operated on without the need for catheterization.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003310 Cor Triatriatum A malformation of the heart in which the embryonic common PULMONARY VEIN was not incorporated into the LEFT ATRIUM leaving behind a perforated fibromuscular membrane bisecting the left atrium, a three-atrium heart. The opening between the two left atrium sections determines the degree of obstruction to pulmonary venous return, pulmonary venous and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
