    <p>O emprego da ecocardiografia tridimensional para a an&#225;lise das estruturas card&#237;acas permite a obten&#231;&#227;o de planos de visibiliza&#231;&#227;o que trazem maior realidade &#224; identifica&#231;&#227;o anat&#244;mica<sup>1-3</sup>. &#201; apresentado o caso de paciente do sexo masculino, com 41 anos de idade, atleta de alto desempenho (maratonista), em que foi identificada presen&#231;a de valvuleta de Eust&#225;quio. Na an&#225;lise ecocardiogr&#225;fica bidimensional (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig01">fig. 1</xref>) observa-se estrutura longa e filiforme. Com a ecocardiografia tridimensional, observa-se que se trata de valvuleta longa, por&#233;m n&#227;o filiforme, apresentando-se como estrutura de base larga, como identificado pela proje&#231;&#227;o transversal, que possibilita a observa&#231;&#227;o anat&#244;mica a partir de plano de profundidade ou de eleva&#231;&#227;o (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig02">fig. 2</xref>). </p>

      <p><bold>Key words: </bold>Echocardiography; heart valves, Eustachian valvula, anatomy. </p>
      <p>The use of three-dimensional echocardiography for the analysis of cardiac structures allows the viewing of planes that make the anatomic identification more realistic<sup>1-3</sup>. We present the case of a 41-year-old male patient, a high-performance athlete (marathoner) in whom an Eustachian valvula was identified. In the two-dimensional echocardiographic study (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig01-body2">Figure 1</xref>), an elongated, filiform structure is observed. Three-dimensional echocardiography shows an elongated, but not filiform valvula which appears as a structure with a wide base, as identified in the short-axis view, which enables anatomic observation from a depth or elevation plane (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig02-body2">Figure 2</xref>). </p>
