    Author: Siniscalchi C, Rossetti P, Rocci A, Rubino P, Basaglia M, Gaibazzi N, Quintavalla R.
    Journal: Acta Biomed; 2016 Sep 13; 87(2):191-3. PubMed ID: 27649002.
    Abstract:
    A 76 year-old woman was admitted to the Emergency Department for recent-onset dyspnea and cough. The electrocardiogram was considered inconclusive. A thoracic X-ray showed global cardiac profile enlargement. Computed tomography, acutely performed in the clinical suspicion of atypical pneumonia/myocarditis or pericardial effusion, showed cardiac enlargement especially of the right chambers. In order to investigate Ebstein's anomaly, pericardial cysts, tumors or other conditions of the right heart a simple trans-thoracic echocardiogram was performed. Four chambers view showed a giant right atrium aneurysm with moderate tricuspid regurgitation without stenosis or typical Ebstein's echocardiographic pattern.
