Cor triatriatum dexter ( CTD ) is an extremely rare congenital condition arising from the persistence of the right valve of the sinus venosus. It divides the right atrium (RA) into 2 separate chambers. We report a case of a 50‐year‐old man who had an incidental finding of CTD on transesophageal echocardiogram. An incomplete membrane of the RA was seen, and three‐dimensional echocardiogram delineated the structure clearly as a triangular sail‐like structure with multiple orifices and a fenestration.
