The Mean

We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with symptoms of cerebrovascular accident manifesting with loss of consciousness during episodes of cough. Computed multislice chest tomography showed a 7.3- by 4.15-cm mass in the left atrium. A transesophageal echocardiogram showed a giant mass in the left atrium that passed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, and severe obstructive stenosis was suggested by the mean transmitral gradient. After a comprehensive assessment of the mass, we decided to perform surgery. The pedunculated and fragile mass was attached to the interatrial septum with its handle, and the majority of it prolapsed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle and became stacked among the mitral valve leaflets. The removed mass was analyzed histopathologically and was found to be a myxoma. It is important for the cardiac surgeon to surgically remove an atrial myxoma because of the risks associated with embolization, including sudden death, as myxoma can block the blood supply from the atrium to the ventricle.

Abstract Background Myocarditis is an uncommon, potentially life-threatening disease that presents with a wide range of symptoms. In acute myocarditis, chest pain (CP) may mimic typical angina and also be associated with electrocardiographic changes, including an elevation of the ST-segment. A large percentage (20–56%) of myxomas are found incidentally. Case summary A 62-year-old female presenting with sudden onset CP and infero-lateral ST-elevation in the electrocardiogram. The diagnosis of ST-elevation myocardial infarction was presumed and administered tenecteplase. The patient was immediately transported to a percutaneous coronary intervention centre. She complained of intermittent diplopia during transport and referred constitutional symptoms for the past 2 weeks. Coronary angiography showed normal arteries. The echocardiogram revealed moderate to severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction due to large areas of akinesia sparing most of the basal segments, and a mobile mass inside the left atrium attached to the septum. The cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) suggested the diagnosis of myocarditis with concomitant left atrial myxoma. The patient underwent resection of the myxoma. Neurological evaluation was performed due to mild vertigo while walking and diplopia in extreme eye movements. The head magnetic resonance imaging identified multiple infracentimetric lesions throughout the cerebral parenchyma compatible with an embolization process caused by fragments of the tumour. Discussion Myocarditis can have various presentations may mimic acute myocardial infarction and CMR is critical to establish the diagnosis. Myxoma with embolic complications requires emergent surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the applicable literature of a myxoma diagnosed during a myocarditis episode.
