[Persistence of the right venous sinus valve simulating a right atrial myxoma in a case of total anomalous pulmonary venous return. Echocardiographic, anatomo-clinical and surgical aspects].
A case of persistence of the right venous sinus valve that on echocardiographic examination simulated right atrial myxoma is reported in a patient with total abnormal pulmonary venous return in the coronary sinus. Echocardiography showed a mobile, pedunculated mass present in systole in the right atrium that shifted to diastole in the right ventricle, highly suggestive of right atrial myxoma. The right ventricle also showed a volume overload and a space without echoes behind the left atrium. A membrane was encountered in the right atrium at surgery. This was removed and the venous return corrected.
