We describe an infant with the antenatal diagnosis of a large intracardiac rhabdomyoma causing tricuspid inflow obstruction. Postnatal cyanosis and arterial hypoxemia prompted commencement of intravenous prostaglandin E1 with immediate improvement in saturations. Clinical and genetic testing
To report a case of prenatal diagnosis of cardiac rhabdomyoma (CR) and neonatal surgical treatment as well as undertaking a systematic review of the literature to determine most frequent localization of CR, common signs and symptoms, associated pathologies, incidence of surgery, and Cardiac rhabdomyomas are benign tumours closely associated with tuberous sclerosis. We report on a neonate with a cardiac rhabdomyoma, which simulated tricuspid atresia with duct-depending pulmonary perfusion due to almost complete obliteration of right ventricular cavum. Under infusion of
Rhabdomyomas are the most common paediatric cardiac tumours. The natural history of these tumours is mostly benign, and the tumour usually regresses spontaneously. Although surgical resection of these tumours is one of the considerations in patients with ventricular outflow obstruction, a palliation
Primary cardiac tumors are rare in pediatrics. Their clinical presentation differs among the various age groups (fetus to the young adult). Our discussion focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyomas, fibromas, myxomas, and pericardial teratomas in the fetus and neonatal stages. Fetal
The nevoid basal-cell carcinoma syndrome is characterized by major manifestations, such as multiple basal-cell carcinomata, cysts of the jaws, and skeletal--specifically, rib--abnormalities. Findings in 53 patients and a review of the literature document both major and lesser-known manifestations of
