title: An integrated imaging approach with magnetic resonance imaging can reveal pitfall pleural effusion at echocardiography.
abstract: We report an echocardiographic pitfall, where a hypoecogenic area mimicking a pleural effusion was detected by CMR as an area of normal pulmonary parenchyma between the posterior left atrial wall and the dilated right pulmonary vein.
