Cor triatriatum sinister ( CTS ) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly in which a fibromuscular membrane divides the atrium into two chambers. As CTS can occur as an isolated anomaly, it is frequently associated with other cardiac anomalies. Although symptoms are usually encountered in infancy, CTS may rarely present in adulthood when the membrane contains large fenestration or other escape drainage exists. We herein, present an 82‐year‐old patient with a typical late diagnosis of asymptomatic CTS .
