Resumen
MARTINEZ-PASCUAL, Miryam et al. Trombo sobre la red de Chiari: Thrombus on Chiari Network. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2013, vol.81, n.6, pp.537-539. ISSN 1850-3748.
The presence of a mass in the right atrium requires a broad differential diagnosis including tumors, vegetations, thrombus, Eustachian valve, or Chiari network. Traditionally, these etiological possibilities have been considered exclusive. This report describes the case of a male patient with catarrh, generalized tenderness and low-grade fever, diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. An echocardiography revealed a mobile, elongated mass in the right atrium. Different etiological entities were posed, and finally heparin treatment was started which resolved the mass, with a persistent filamentous structure compatible with Chiari network.
