Ebstein anomaly

Ebstein anomaly
a malformation of the tricuspid valve, the septal and posterior leaflets being adherent to the wall of the right ventricle to a varying degree, producing tricuspid deficiency, and the anterior leaflet being normally attached to the annulus fibrosus; usually associated with an atrial septal defect. Called also Ebstein disease.

Ebstein anomaly, in a clinical specimen (left) and apical four-chamber view (right). There is significant displacement of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve (asterisk), with associated valve dysplasia. LV, left ventricle; RA, right atrium; RV, right ventricle.
