[Cor triatriatum sinister: unusual cause of neonatal respiratory distress].
We report the case of a newborn presenting with neonatal respiratory distress due to acute pulmonary edema, the underlying diagnosis being cor triatriatum sinister. This rare anomaly can be lethal in the short term. However, it can be completely cured surgically provided that diagnosis is made on time.
