Overview
The chest x ray findings in the patient with cor triatrium include non-specific observations such as cardiac enlargement and pulmonary congestion with diffuse haziness, Kerley B lines, and pulmonary vascular redistribution.
Chest x-ray
- When cor triatriatum occurs as an isolated defect, the hemodynamic derangement is identical to that of mitral stenosis and the chest radiography shows a normal sized heart with changes of chronic interstitial edema.
- Findings are usually nonspecific but may include:
- Pulmonary congestion with diffuse haziness, Kerley B lines, and pulmonary vascular redistribution
- Mild cardiac enlargement
- Prominence of the pulmonary arterial segment
- Dilated proximal chamber, may produce the appearance of left atrial enlargement
- Presence of an atrial septal defect or anomalous pulmonary venous connection. This in turn can cause:
- Pulmonary overcirculation to the pulmonary venous obstruction
- Significant right ventricular enlargement
