We present a case of prolapsed posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve presenting as rapidly undulating serpentine mass in mid cavity of the right atrium during ventricle systole mimicking Chiari network. 3D echocardiography unveiled the mystery and confirmed prolapsed posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve. To the best of our knowledge such a large hypermobile artifactual echocardiographic manifestation of prolapsed posterior leaflet of tricuspid valve has not been reported in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
