Abstract
Two adult patients with cor triatriatum, which was shown by echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using both spin-echo and cine-MR techniques, are presented. Spin-echo MRI clearly demonstrated an anatomical relationship between the membrane and pulmonary veins or left atrial appendage, which was not clear on transthoracic echocardiography. In addition, cine-MRI depicted abnormal flow through the fenestration of the anomalous membrane (case 1 and 2) and shunted flow through the associated atrial septal defect (case 2).
