The case of a 83-year-old man is reported,who was admitted to "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba due to cerebrovascular disease and atrial fibrillation,so that an embolic cardiovascular source was suspected. The echocardiogram showed a T-type image in the right atrium that did not explain the patient's clinical pattern,but it was noticed that it disappeared after treatment,which led to the description of this case for publication.

Introduction. Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) is defined as the connection of one or more, but not all, pulmonary veins to the right atrium or one of its tributary sites (systemic veins). Case presentation. Five year-old male patient with deterioration of his functional condition, chronic fatigue and decrease of tolerance to the exercise, reason for which he is taken to specialized consultation and multiple imaging studies. Discussion. PAPVC physiopathology is given by an increase in the lung flow as consequence of oxygenated blood recirculation through right cavities. In many occasions, it is an incidental asymptomatic finding, especially when the shunt is smaller than 2:1 (Qp/ Qs < 2). Magnetic resonance is useful in the diagnoses and in the quantification of the shunt, useful in decisions making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. We define cor triatriatum sinistrum as an anomalous fibromuscular membrane in the left atrium which divides it into 2 cavities with variable degrees of obstruction. Material and methods. In this retrospective, longitudinal and descriptive study we show a series of ten patients treated at the Hospital Infantil de Mexico in a 26 year-experience diagnosed by echocardiography. Results. No additional studies were necessary. Median age was 16.9 months; sex distribution was 1:1, registering mortality in 2 patients (20%). Long-term follow-up in 8 remaining patients had a mean of 46.8 months. Echocardiography is diagnostic and identifies associated congenital cardiac anomalies; right atriotomy approach provides excellent exposure and allows resection of the obstructive membrane. It also allows resolution of associated defects and is the preferential approach. Conclusion. This is the largest pediatric series reported to date in our country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
