概要

EBSTEIN in 1866 described the first case of this entity, consisting essentially of congenital malformation of the tricuspid valve and displacement of the valve downward into the right ventricle. Yater and Shapiro in 1937 summarized this anomaly and thought that "it would appear impossible to make the diagnosis during life". In 1950 Engle et al. analyzed the clinical aspects of this disease concluding that there were sufficient characteristic features to allow the clinical diagnosis. Reynolds in 1950 and Soloff et al. in 1951 reported the first cases diagnosed during life. With the widespread use of modern diagnostic methods, such as catheterization and angio-cardiography, resulting in better understanding of the clinical syndrome, a considerable number of reports on the clinically established diagnosis of this disease have appeared recently. In Japan, however, the present case represents the first instance of which the accurate diagnosis was ascertained in autopsy and was reported at the 2nd Kanto District Meeting of the Japan Circulation Academy in Sept., 1956.
