Aneurysm of right atrium diagnosed by 3-dimensional real-time echocardiogram.
We describe a case of giant aneurysm of right atrium in a child with a previous diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly of tricuspid valve. Three-dimensional real-time echocardiography provided more precise anatomic detail of the tricuspid valve, right atrium, and right ventricle than did its 2-dimensional counterpart.
