Incidental Finding of Cor Triatriatum Sinistrum in an Adult

Abstract

Cor triatriatum is a congenital heart defect often diagnosed in infancy or childhood. This case study presents an adult with metastatic breast cancer, anemia, and an incidental finding of cor triatriatum sinistrum. On the basis of clinical presentation, the patient was treated conservatively and discharged. Sonographic findings of cor triatriatum sinistrum, along with clinical signs, the significance of other imaging modalities, and potential treatments, are presented.
