Abstract
Chiari network is an embryonic remnant of valves of the sinus venosus, which can be observed in several locations in the right atrium. Although it is usually considered a normal anatomic variant, when associated with certain clinical conditions, the Chiari network may become a confusing finding, and a careful differential diagnosis is required. It should be differentiated from a tricuspid valve disruption, vegetation, thrombus, or tumoral mass. In this case report, we describe a singular case of endocarditis over a Chiari network in a seven-year-old boy that was successfully managed in a conservative fashion.
