Abstract
A prominent Chiari's network may be difficult to distinguish from pathologic right atrial masses on transthoracic echocardiography. We report a 38-year-old woman who had a cerebrovascular accident. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed an atrial septal aneurysm and a mobile right atrial mass. This mass was correctly identified as Chiari's network on the basis of the transesophageal echocardiographic findings of a broad base of attachment in the right atrium and filamentous nature of the mass. These findings were confirmed at surgery.
