Double chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare disorder observed in adulthood and is usually misdiagnosed. The DCRV is a form of right ventricular out flow tract obstruction. In this rare pathology, the right ventricle is divided into two chambers by a muscular band, including high-pressure proximal and low-pressure distal chamber. It develops over time and mostly in patients with an abnormally short distance between the moderator band and pulmonary valve. Most of DCRV patients are diagnosed before 20-years of age. However, despite rarely seen, DCRV may be diagnosed in adults. As it complicates diagnosis, it should be seriously taken into consideration.
