Abstract

Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital malformation of the heart characterized by a fibromuscular membrane dividing the atrium into two distinct chambers. In the majority of cases, it is diagnosed in early childhood, whereas adult cases are extremely rare [1,2]. The hemodynamics of cor triatriatum are similar to those of mitral stenosis, which sometimes cause embolic infarction. We describe an unusual case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 48-year-old man who presented with relapsed embolic infarction.

성인에서의 삼심방증은 매우 드문 질병으로 다른 심장 기형과 동반되는 경우가 많다. 그래서 색전성 뇌경색을 일으키기도 하는데 본 저자들은 삼심방증과 동반된 다른 기형이나 심장질환이 없이 발생한 재발성 뇌경색 환자를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
