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.

Keywords

Pulmuner hipertansiyon, sağ atriyal dilatasyon

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

Pulmonary hypertension, right atrial dilatation
