Abstract
Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which the left atrium is divided into two compartments by an abnormal fibromuscular septum with an opening, producing varying degrees of obstruction of pulmonary venous return. During 7 years from 2012 to 2019, we met 5 cases of children with Cor triatriatum. All of them addmited with dyspnea, a loud S2 and a nonspecific systolic murmur. The patients were correctly diagnosed by echocardiography and successfully operated.
