Case Report of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Ebstein’s AnomalyCardiac MR Imaging
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
We hereby report two cases of Ebstein’s anomaly, one of the rare congenital heart diseases accounting for only 0.5-1.0 % of congenital heart diseases with incidence of 1 in 2,10,000 live births. Ebstein’s anomaly has a wide spectrum of findings, and ages at first presentation while some patients are asymptomatic. We present a classic case of Ebstein’s anomaly in a 22-year-old female with massive right sided cardiomegaly, downward displacement of septal tricuspid leaflet, atrialization of right ventricle associated with atrial septal defect. We also present another case of Ebstein’s anomaly in a 51-year-old male who was asymptomatic. We also emphasize the role of MRI in assessing apical displacement of the septal leaflet of tricuspid valve, mobility of antero-superior and inferior tricuspid valve leaflets, quantification of tricuspid regurgitation and size of atrialized right ventricle and to assess volume.
