Mini‐Abstract Coronary sinus dilatation is usually the result of anomalous drainage to the sinus, either from the persistent left superior vena cava, anomalous pulmonary vein drainage or from coronary arterio‐venous fistula. Occasionally, the degree of coronary sinus enlargement is so great that the structure is mistaken for something else, such as accessory cardiac chamber or dilated descending aorta. Herein, we describe a rare case of giant coronary sinus that has an unusual enlargement as cardiac chamber.
