Cor-triatriatum is a rare cardiac anomaly. In literature, majority case reports on the condition focused on its late presentation in adulthood. It can be easily corrected by surgical intervention to avoid pulmonary congestion and subsequent pulmonary hypertension. We report a rare case of cor-triatriatum with severe pulmonary hypertension in a 7-week-old baby who presented with persistent tachypnoea.
