CT in Ebstein's Anomaly
Findings
Inferior displacement of tricuspid valve leaflets with enlargement of the right atrium and enlargement and dysfunction of the right ventricle.
Advantages
- Provides additional anatomic details compared to echocardiography
- It is done faster compared to MRI, thus avoiding the need for anesthesia in small children
Disadvantage
- Costly
- Radiation can have long terms side-effect on growing children
