Three patients with cor triatriatum sinister detected in adulthood

Cor triatriatum is one of the rarest congenital cardiac anomalies accounting for 0.1-0.4% of all congenital heart disease. It is frequently associated with other congenital heart defects and is normally diagnosed in childhood mostly because it is symptomatic with symptoms of left heart obstruction or arrhythmia. We present three cases of cor triatriatum sinister diagnosed in adult age with successful conservative treatment and follow up. Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart disease with varying presentations. The golden standard in three dimensional TTE and TEE.
