Abstract
Cor triatriatum dexter is a very rare cardiac malformation in which th e right atrium is subdivided into two distinct chambers. The authors r eport the case of a three-day-old infant boy with body weight of 2.8 k g, severely symptomatic, with highly obstructive cor triatriatum dexte r and patent foramen ovale. The malformation was diagnosed by two-dime nsional echocardiography and corrected successfully by surgery.
