  • Title: Remnant of the common pulmonary vein: usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in improving diagnosis. A case report in a child.
    Author: De Caro E, Tomà P.
    Journal: G Ital Cardiol; 1995 Nov; 25(11):1415-7. PubMed ID: 8682237.
    Abstract:
    Abnormal incorporation of the common pulmonary vein can result in a fibromuscular partition of the left atrium, often appearing as an elongated mass on transthoracic echocardiographic examination. Differentiation from an atrial thrombus or tumour may sometimes be difficult. We report a case of a young patient with a left atrial mass detected by ultrasound study and correctly diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging as remnant of the common pulmonary vein.
