摘 要：M Ebstein is usually diagnosed in early childhood or ad-olescence. The young woman in our case complainted of fatigue and shortness of breath, on physical exami-nation she showed signs of heart failure with raised central venous pressure, palpable liver, an a cardiac murmer. Based on these findings she should have been referred to a cardiologist in an early stage after which transthoracic echocardiography resulted in the correct diagnosis. In this case the anomaly was missed for many years by different specialists and the patient was treated for liver disease, while she was suffering from liver congestion due to right-sided heart failure.
