 We have reported 2 cases of adult Ebstein's anomaly. We also analyzed 64 cases of Japanese adult (age> 40 years old) Ebstein's anomaly in the literature.

 A 60-year-old man was admitted with general fatigue as his chief complaint. A 46-year-old woman was admitted with palpitation as her chief complaint. Neither of these patients had been suffered from cyanosis or congestive heart failure. They showed cardiomegaly on the chest X-ray, especially in the right atrium. Echocardiogram showed abnormal attachment of the tricuspid valve in the right ventricle. Ebstein's anomaly was diagnosed by echocardiography, CT, MRI and angiography. However, no cardiac anomalies were detected in either patient, except tricuspid regurgitation (TR). These patients are now being followed up without symptoms in our outpatient clinic.

 We reviewed 64 Japanese adult (age> 40 years old) patients with Ebstein's anomaly in the literature. Ages ranged from 40 to 94 years old. There were 28 men and 28 women, but sex was not listed in another 8 cases. Cardio-thoracic ratio (CTR) ranged from 47 to 90% on the chest X-ray. Atrial septal defect (ASD) was combined in 13/66 cases (20%), cyanosis in 9/66 cases (14%). The fewness of the complications of ASD and cyanosis may be the reason that adult patients Ebstein's anomaly were able to survive to ages over 40. In adult patients with cardiomegaly on chest X-ray, especially in the right atrium, Ebstein's anomaly should be considered as a possible diagnosis. Echocardiography was useful for diagnosing this anomaly.
