Overview
On an x-ray Ebsteins anomaly findings include a large globular heart with a narrow waist due to enlargement of the right atrium, normal or reduced pulmonary vasculature.
X Ray
A chest x-ray can be normal in mild cases. In severe cases it may be helpful in the diagnosis of Ebsteins anomaly. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of Ebsteins anomaly include[1][2] :
- A large globular heart with a narrow waist due to enlargement of the right atrium
- A box-shaped heart can be seen sometimes
- Pulmonary vasculature can be either normal or reduced
- Cardiac silhouette may appear normal
