    Author: De Leva F, Vairo U, Pacileo G, Musto B.

    Abstract:
    We report a case of isolated right atrial enlargement. The patient was an 11 year old boy who had life-threatening supraventricular arrhythmias. Diagnosis was basically performed by Echo-2D Doppler. The surgical treatment performed on cardiopulmonary by-pass, was followed by immediate conversion to sinus rhythm. Histological examination showed chronic inflammatory aspects. Postoperative Echo-2D (2 years later) showed a moderate right atrial enlargement.
