Cor triatriatum with supramitral ring: "cor tetratriatum", associated with Raghib syndrome with Eisenmenger syndrome: multimodality imaging approach in this exceedingly rare case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cor triatriatum and supramitral ring are congenital anomalies which result in formation of three chambers of atria. To the best of our knowledge, simultaneous presence of both entities in the same patient resulting in the formation of four chambers of atria has not been described in the literature. Here, we report a case of simultaneous presence of cor triatriatum and supramitral ring associated with Raghib syndrome and Eisenmenger syndrome.

Case presentation

We report the case of a middle-aged gentleman, who presented to us with features of atrial septal defect with Eisenmenger syndrome. Multimodality imaging confirmed the simultaneous presence of supramital ring and cor triatriatum resulting in "cor tetratriatum" along with Raghib syndrome. Presence of Eisenmenger syndrome compelled us to offer medical therapy for the patient.

Conclusion

This is the first case report describing the simultaneous presence of supramitral ring and cor triatriatum resulting in a new entity-"cor tetratriatum".

Wong's anomaly - a rare variant of cor triatriatum.

Project description:Cor triatriatum sinistrum is an extremely rare congenital heart disease. It is even more uncommon in adults, and clinically significant mitral valve lesion complicating cor triatriatum is distinctly rare. Wong et al reported for the first time the rare combination of cor triatriatum sinister associated with severe mitral regurgitation and abnormal tensor apparatus of the mitral valve. We report a similar case and used the term Wong's anomaly for the syndrome, having membranous type of cor triatriatum sinistrum, severe mitral regurgitation and hypoplasia of the papillary muscles and short chordae. Color Doppler Echocardiography showed peculiar 'helmet sign' of mitral regurgitation, wherein the mitral regurgitation color jet fills the distal atrial chamber and abruptly ends in a horizontal plane as it is halted by the intra-atrial membrane.

A rare case of partial cor triatriatum diagnosed at an adult age: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCor triatriatum sinistra (CTS) is a rare condition where the left atrium (LA) is divided by a thin membrane into an upper and lower chamber. Incidentally, the diagnosis is made in late adulthood, usually because of a favourable variant such as in our patient who presented with partial CTS.Case summaryWe present the case of a 62-year-old female who presented with COVID-19. She was known for longstanding symptoms of dyspnoea on exertion as well as a minor stroke several years ago. Computed tomography on admission suggested there was a mass in the LA but transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed the diagnosis of partial CTS in which the superior compartment received pulmonary venous drainage from the right lung and the left-sided pulmonary veins drained into the inferior chamber. Since there were signs of chronic pulmonary oedema she successfully underwent balloon dilatation of the membrane resulting in remission of symptoms and normalization of the pressure in the accessory chamber.DiscussionPartial CTS is a rare variant of CTS. Since part of the pulmonary veins drains in the lower chamber of the LA (and thereby unload the right ventricle), it is a favourable variant and patients may present later in life when membrane orifices calcify or it may be discovered as an incidental finding. In some patients requiring intervention, balloon dilatation of the membrane may be considered as an alternative to surgical removal of the membrane by thoracotomy.

Cor triatriatum dexter: A rare cause of cyanosis during neonatal period.

Project description:Cor-triatriatum dexter is an extremely rare congenital heart defect in which there is complete persistence of the right valve of embryonic sinus venosus that results in partitioning of the right atrium into a smooth and trabeculated portion. The smooth portion receives venous blood from inferior vena cava, superior vena cava, and coronary sinus while the trabeculated portion contains the right atrial appendage and the opening of tricuspid valve. We report a 1-week-old child who presented with intermittent episodes of central cyanosis. Echocardiography, established, and bubble contrast study confirmed the diagnosis of an isolated cor-triatriatum dexter. The baby initially underwent an intervention by cardiac catheterization, which was unsuccessful in disrupting the membrane and re-direct the systemic venous flow to the right heart chambers. She subsequently had the cor-triatriatum dexter membrane resected via an uncomplicated open-heart surgery.

An extremely rare cause of Eisenmenger syndrome.

Project description:Persistent Truncus Arteriosus (PTA) is an extremely rare defect accounting for under 1% of all congenital heart disease, and over 85% of patients succumb to heart failure in infancy. We report a case of van Praagh type A3 PTA, which represents its rarest variant and accounts for only 8-10% of all patients with PTA. The presence of ductal stenosis in such cases is further exceedingly rare.

Cardioembolic stroke in a young male with cor triatriatum sinister: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCor triatriatum sinister (CTS) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly defined by a fibromuscular membrane which bisects the left atrium. Cor triatriatum sinister has been associated with cardioembolic stroke through mechanisms including stagnation of blood flow within the left atrium, an association with atrial fibrillation (AF), and/or an accompanying atrial septal defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale. We describe a case highlighting the role that CTS may play in cardioembolic stroke, provide high-quality computed tomography angiography and two- and three-dimensional echocardiography of the CTS membrane, and outline management strategies for this uncommon clinical scenario.Case summaryA 35-year-old man with no prior medical history presented with acute onset weakness and aphasia. He was found to have an embolic stroke with left M1 and A1 occlusions and received tissue plasminogen activator followed by mechanical thrombectomy with successful recanalization. A thorough stroke workup revealed CTS with an associated ASD as well as potential protein C deficiency. He was managed with indefinite anticoagulation with apixaban.DiscussionThis is the 13th reported case of CTS associated with stroke. In most previous cases evidence of blood stasis or frank thrombus was associated with the CTS membrane, and/or existing AF was noted. In this case, none of these were identified, particularly highlighting the surreptitious risk of CTS. In addition, the presence of potential protein C deficiency in this case compounded the risk for thromboembolism and factored into multidisciplinary management decisions.
