A 9-year-old female presented with mitral regurgitation, heart failure, fever, abnormal serum proteins, elevated sedimentation rate, and elevated antihyaluronidase titer. At first thought to have rheumatic fever, she initially responded favorably to medical therapy which included corticosteroids. Evidence of progressive disease led to cardiac catheterization and angiography which demonstrated a left atrial myxoma which was successfully excised. Review of the literature reveals that 23 children with left atrial myxomas have been reported. These may present with embolic, obstructive, or constitutional symptoms. Most children have clinical evidence of mitral regurgitation. Associated heart failure, anemia, elevated sedimentation rate, elevated antihyaluronidase titer and initial favorable response to medical therapy often lead to the incorrect diagnosis of acute or chronic rheumatic heart disease. In these patients, increased endogenous hyaluronic acid excretion from tumor cells may lead to increased hyaluronidase and antihyaluronidase activity, abnormal serum proteins and elevated sedimentation rate.

Left Atrial Myxoma

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 had excision of the atrial myxoma. The usefulness of early transthoracic echocardiography in any patient presenting with features of heart failure even when the aetiology seems obvious cannot be over-emphasised.
