Figure 1
A: Non-contrast-enhanced CT scans showing IAS thickening of 2.4 cm with a density of −109 HU, characteristic of fatty infiltration. B: Contrast-enhanced CT with angled reformatting for the four heart chambers, showing thickening of the IAS with no evidence of contrast enhancement (arrow). C: Non-contrast-enhanced coronal CT scan showing fatty infiltration of the IAS (arrow). D: Transesophageal echocardiogram showing thickening of the IAS, sparing the fossa ovalis (arrow). RA, right atrium; LA, left atrium; LV, left ventricle; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract; FO, fossa ovalis.
