Presentation
However, some cases present well into adulthood as in our patient. The most common presenting symptoms are dyspnea, orthopnea, hemoptysis, palpitations and chest pain. [scielo.br]
The majority of patients with cor triatriatum present in infancy; however, a minority of patients will present in adulthood. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
What makes this presentation of disease reportable? While most cases of cor triatriatum are diagnosed in early infancy, rare cases can present with primarily pulmonary complaints, leading to delayed or missed diagnostic opportunities. [westjem.com]
CT most commonly presents in infancy or childhood and there are only a few reports of “subtotal” CT presenting in adulthood in the literature – so-called cor triatriatum sinister. [innovationsincrm.com]
All patients of CTS presented before 18 years of age (90%). Only one patient with CTD was an adult (35 years) at the time of presentation. [birpublications.org]

Clinical features The clinical presentation in infancy is similar to that of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, with low cardiac output, pallor, tachypnea, poor peripheral pulses, and failure to thrive. [accesssurgery.mhmedical.com]
Patients may present with cough, dyspnea, wheezing, pulmonary congestion, tachycardia, heart murmur, palpitations, pallor, and/ or failure to thrive. [statpearls.com]

For the first few days of life the baby’s color was fair until it sneezed or cried; then cyanosis became pronounced. Later cyanosis became constant and was not relieved even when oxygen was given continuously. [coek.info]
The severity of cyanosis is dependent on the both diameters and pressures in aorta and pulmonary arteries. [casereports.in]

There are two main types of clinical studies: Clinical trials determine if a new test or treatment for a disease is effective and safe by comparing groups receiving different tests/treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Treatment, when needed, is similar to the treatment of congenital heart failure. Support Organizations Support organizations can provide help and guidance in areas such as peer matching, education and training, and therapy and counseling. [resourcerepository.org]
Prognosis
Treatment and prognosis A cor triatriatum is usually fatal within the first two years of life. The membrane can be surgically resected. [radiopaedia.org]
Moreover, there cannot be generalized prediction of prognosis as the communicating orifice is the sole determinant of the progression to sequelae. [4] Hence, course and prognosis will vary from case to case. [jiaecho.org]
How Is The Prognosis? The highest mortality has been reported in untreated symptomatic infants diagnosed with cor triatriatum sinistrum related to complex congenital cardiac defects. [icliniq.com]

If the communication between the proximal and distal chambers is not restrictive or if an atrial septal defect allows decompression of the hypertensive left atrium, the prognosis is significantly improved. [chdbabies.com]
Etiology
Correlating these associated anomalies with stages of embryonic development and with various studies of altered embryonic blood flow, suggests an etiologic role for altered blood flow in the development of this complex malformation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
