Incidental asymptomatic accessory mitral valve: a differential diagnosis for intracardiac mass.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accessory mitral valve is a rare entity which is commonly detected in children. It might present as a cause for left ventricular outflow obstruction, aortic regurgitation or a source for thromboembolic event. Diagnosis is based on echocardiographic findings, transesophageally when possible. Usually treatment is not required however treatment decisions are based on associated abnormalities and symptoms. Our aim is to report a case which was referred to our clinic as a suspected intracardiac mass.

This condition could be found isolated or in combination with other cardiac anomalies and is usually diagnosed in childhood. It is in differential diagnosis with other cardiac masses as tumors or vegetations. In this article a 27 year old asymptomatic female is p...
متن کاملCaseous Necrosis of Mitral Annulus
Masses or mass-like lesions located in proximity to mitral valve encompass a wide range of differential diagnoses including neoplasias, abscesses, thrombi, and rarely caseous calcification of mitral annulus. Due to asymptomatic presentation, its diagnosis is usually incidental. Echocardiography is the first choice of imaging in evaluation. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is helpful in establis...

An accessory papillary muscle is an uncommon congenital anomaly usually found incidentally on routine cardiac imaging. While frequently asymptomatic, it is occasionally associated with mitral regurgitation, left ventricular dynamic outflow obstruction and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy1 and it is important to differentiate it from other pathological processes including papillary fibroelastoma, lef...

Background: Primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. In this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. Case Presentation: A 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. Physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of ...
متن کاملAccessory mitral valve tissue: an updated review of the literature.
Accessory mitral valve tissue (AMVT) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly sometimes responsible for left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. It is diagnosed during both neonate-childhood and adult periods in patients usually symptomatic for dyspnoea, chest pain, palpitations, fatigue, or syncope. Nevertheless, AMVT is often an incidental finding. AMVT is most often associated with oth...
