Abstract:
Sinus venosus is a rare cardiac defect, which may lead to an interatrial shunt. Diagnosis on
echocardiography may be difficult requiring an evaluation by a board-certified cardiologist.
We report a case of a 41 year-old male who presented with recurrent episodes of hemiparesis (first left
sided, second right sided). Surgical correction of sinus venosus led to resolution of his symptoms.
