A Large Cardiac Mass: Diagnosis of Caseous Mitral Annular Calcification and Determining Optimum Management Strategy
A 64-year-old woman with dizziness and blurry vision underwent an evaluation for a possible stroke with a head-neck CT scan and a transthoracic echocardiogram. The head-neck CT scan was unremarkable, but the echocardiogram was notable for a 2.0 × 2.3 cm heterogeneous echodensity attached to the mitral valve. After a transesophageal echocardiogram and chest CT scan, the mass was determined to be...
متن کاملLarge Caseous Mitral Annular Calcification
A 68-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea, angina, and syncope. She was undergoing renal dialysis (3 times weekly, for one year) and was taking nifedipine for hypertension. Laboratory results suggested secondary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia. Auscultation revealed a severe systolic murmur at the left upper parasternal border and a moderate diastolic murmur at the cardiac ape...
متن کاملMultimodality cardiac imaging in the evaluation of mitral annular caseous calcification.
A77-year-old man with severe aortic stenosis was referred for consideration of aortic valve replacement. He admitted to mild exertional dyspnea and was systemically well. His past medical history was remarkable for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and a previous transient ischemic attack. A transthoracic echocardiogram confirmed severe calcific aortic stenosis (peak gradient 95mm Hg, estimat...
متن کاملCaseous calcification of the mitral annulus.
A 61-year-old asymptomatic woman was referred for echocardiography to evaluate recently detected systolic murmur. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an echodense obstructive mass in the left ventricular outflow tract of unclear origin. Subsequent transesophageal echo suggested an intracardiac calcified tumor and recommended surgical excision. Contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography (...
متن کاملSpontaneous Resolution of a Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus
An asymptomatic 76-year-old woman with a prior history of mitral annular calcification underwent a transthoracic echocardiographic examination for evaluation. Her risk factor for atherothrombotic disease was hypertension, and she had no prior medical history of hyperlipidemia or diabetes. She was given the following pharmacologic treatments: an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (qui...
