Abstract

Ebstein anomaly is a rare and complex congenital heart defect that may present with a variety of clinical symptoms. This article presents the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with a history of a heart murmur and progressively worsening dyspnea on exertion. We describe the imaging features and protocol used for visualizing the congenital defect on a 256-channel multidetector CT scanner.
