Left Atrial Myxoma Mimicking Mitral Stenosis
Cardiac myxoma is a benign (non-malignant) neoplasm that represents the most common primary tumour of the heart. We present the case of a 36 year old woman with background hypertension who presented with features of left ventricular failure and seizures, and was found during transthoracic echocardiography to have left atrial myxoma protruding through the mitral valve orifice. She subsequently h...
متن کاملLeft atrial appendage ostial stenosis associated with rheumatic mitral stenosis \
Isolated left atrial appendage (LAA) stenosis is a very rare entity that is almost always detected coincidentally with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The clinical consequences of this condition are still unknown, but thrombus formation is likely to occur in the narrowed area. A 51-year-old female was admitted to an outpatient clinic due to the complaint of dizziness. Physical examinati...
متن کاملAtrial Myxoma Mimicking Mitral Stenosis
Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor and is usually located in the left atrium. Clinical manifestation relies in large part on the size, location, and architecture of the tumor. There are many reports in the literature of cardiac myxomas causing syncope, embolism, even myocardial infarction. We present a rare case of a patient who underwent urgent surgical resection of a large left a...
متن کاملPrimary left atrial angiosarcoma mimicking severe mitral valve stenosis.
Primary cardiac tumours are quite rare and most of these tumours are benign. In this report, a patient presented with heart failure symptoms attributable to severe mitral valve stenosis. Echocardiography showed a dense left atrial mass causing functional mitral valve obstruction. The morphological and intraoperative presentation was highly suggestive of a myxoma but histopathological examinatio...
متن کاملMitral Regurgitation on Left Atrial Clot and Spontaneous Echo Contrast in Patients With Severe Mitral Stenosis
undergoing cardioversion ~24 hours after TEE. At 6 months follow-up the presence of SR or AF was available in 276 patients. Baseline clinical variables and TEE parameters were compared between these Qroups. Results: At 6 months follow-up, 194 (70%) patients were in SR and 82 (30%) patients were in AF. Baseline clinical and TEE variables are displayed in Table 1 (’ p<O.O5). Patients in SR were s...
