Crista terminalis bridge: a rare variant mimicking right atrial mass

Nicola D'Amato et al. Eur J Echocardiogr. 2009 May.

Abstract

Prominent crista terminalis is a variant of normal heart anatomy mimicking right atrial mass-like tumour, thrombus, or vegetation. The case report depicts a rare kind of this structure that constitutes a thick muscular bridge in the right atrium. Detection by 2D and 3D echocardiography can avoid further useless investigation.
