Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

Cor triatriatum is a rare cardiac anomaly sometimes associated with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC). We present the case of a 2-year-old girl who was diagnosed with a unique form of cor triatriatum that was associated with TOF and PLSVC. In this case, the abnormal membrane that arose from the posterior wall of the left atrium encircled the left superior vena cava (LSVC) in the left atrial cavity. Here, we discuss this rare case as well as the imaging studies and surgical strategy adopted.
