Dev Sağ Atrium

Abstract

Atriumun ileri derecede genişlemesi genelde sol atriumda görülür. Nadiren sağ atriumda da gelişebilir. Dev sağ atrium triküspit kapak patolojilerinde nadir görülen bir durumdur. Erişkinlerde triküspit kapak stenozu ve yetmezliği sonucunda oluşabilen pulmoner hipertansiyona sekonder gelişebilir. Kırk beş yaşında kadın hasta triküspit yetmezliğine bağlı gelişen dev sağ atrium sebebiyle opere edildi.

Giant Right Atrium

Abstract

Severe enlargement of the atrium usually happens within the left atrium and is rarely seen in the right atrium. Giant right atrium is a rare condition that can be seen in tricuspid valve pathologies. Pulmonary hypertension, which could develop after tricuspid valve stenosis or insufficiency, may lead to giant right atrium in adults. A 45-year-old female patient was operated for tricuspid valve insufficiency related to a giant right atrium.

Keywords
