We present the case of a 54-year-old man who had an unusual finding in contrast echocardiography with agitated saline. Partition of the right atrium in two compartments, an opacified and a non-opacified one, was noted. Further assessment with a transesophageal echocardiogram revealed the presence of a membrane in the right atrium, with the final diagnosis being cor triatriatum dexter.

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.

D006344 Heart Septal Defects, Atrial Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
