Cardiac Paraganglioma: Multimodality Imaging of a Rare Tumor.

Project description:Paragangliomas are rare tumors of chromaffin cells arising from an extra-adrenal location. Unlike pheochromocytomas, they are seldom functional. We present a case of pericardial paraganglioma incidentally encountered on an echocardiographic study, focusing on the characteristic features the tumor demonstrates on different imaging modalities. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Multimodality imaging of a cardiac paraganglioma: A case report

Project description:Cardiac paragangliomas (PGLs) are rare extra-adrenal tumors that arise from chromaffin cells of the sympathetic ganglia. PGLs are often diagnosed incidentally, in the absence of symptoms, or with symptoms related to cardiovascular dysfunction. Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can be used to accurately determine the lesion morphology and position as well as providing detailed tissue characterization. A multimodal imaging approach, not yet standardized, could be useful either in diagnosis and monitoring or in treatment planning. In the case reported here, CCT and CMR were performed to define lesion anatomy, and a reconstruction was generated using cinematic rendering (CR) to characterize the PGL angioarchitecture.

Rare Case of Coincident Quadricuspid Pulmonic Valve and Suprapulmonic Ridge: Multimodality Imaging.

Project description:A 32-year-old woman with a history of mild congenital pulmonic stenosis presented with new dyspnea on exertion. Multimodal imaging revealed a quadricuspid pulmonic valve with supravalvular ridge. We illustrate the evaluation and diagnosis of this rare condition. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Cardiac hydatid cyst in the right ventricle - A rare case report of echinococcosis presentation.

Project description:IntroductionThe hydatid cyst (HC) of the right ventricle (RV) is an extremely uncommon and a serious location that can cause sudden death following pulmonary embolism, obstruction of the valvular orifice or anaphylactic shock.Case presentationWe report a case of a 14 years-old girl with a HC of the RV. Surgical excision of the HC under Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was successful in managing this rare case.Clinical discussionCardiac HC is extremely rare. It represents only 0.5-2% of all hydatid cases. However, RV location is very severe. It has a tendency to rupture intracavitarily and causes sudden death in 30% of cases. Its diagnosis is based on echocardiography, computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging. The surgical treatment under CPB with anthelmintic therapy seems to improve the prognostic outcomes.ConclusionCardiac HC must be always suspected in endemic countries, especially in patients with a family history of HC.

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Role of Multimodality Imaging.

Project description:Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy encompasses a heterogeneous group of diseases, with a generally unfavorable long-term prognosis. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a useful therapeutic option for patients with symptomatic heart failure, currently recommended by all available guidelines, with outstanding benefits, especially in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Still, in spite of clear indications based on identifying a dyssynchronous pattern on the electrocardiogram (ECG,) a great proportion of patients are non-responders. The idea that multimodality cardiac imaging can play a role in refining the selection criteria and the implant technique and help with subsequent system optimization is promising. In this regard, predictors of CRT response, such as apical rocking and septal flash have been identified. Promising new data come from studies using cardiac magnetic resonance and nuclear imaging for showcasing myocardial dyssynchrony. Still, to date, no single imaging predictor has been included in the guidelines, probably due to lack of validation in large, multicenter cohorts. This review provides an up-to-date synthesis of the latest evidence of CRT use in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and highlights the potential additional value of multimodality imaging for improving CRT response in this population. By incorporating all these findings into our clinical practice, we can aim toward obtaining a higher proportion of responders and improve the success rate of CRT.

Case report: multimodality imaging to diagnose cardiac diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is rare and can present with a wide variety of clinical symptoms, frequently leading to a delay in diagnosis.Case summaryWe report a case of a PCL in an 81-year-old man. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple masses in the right atrium and a mass in the right ventricular outflow tract extending to the pulmonary artery. Biopsy revealed a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The patient also had metastases to the liver and lung on the positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan. He was treated with R-CHOP chemotherapy, with complete remission documented PET-CT scans.ConclusionAlthough most patients with PCL die before chemotherapy can be initiated, a timely diagnosis can result in a favourable outcome.
