Abstract
Patients with congenital heart disease present a challenge for imagers, since it requires a profound knowledge of the morphologic and functional characteristics of a broad range of congenital heart defects. Ebstein’s anomaly is an uncommon congenital abnormality of tricuspid valve characterized by dysplasia and downward displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets. We present a case of a young male who presented for further cardiac work-up to evaluate for suspected Ebstein’s anomaly after prior history of radiofrequency catheter ablation for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. The case highlights the diagnostic utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in identifying the anomaly. 
Keywords : Ebstein Anomaly, Congenital Heart Defects, Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
