Cardiac rhabdomyoma mimicking haemodynamics of hypoplastic left heart syndrome

El-Segaier, Milad LU and Galal, Mohammed O. (2014) In Acta Cardiologica 69(3). p.308-310
Abstract
Cardiac rhabdonnyomas are rare and often regress spontaneously. However, the management of rhabdomyoma with severe inflow and outflow obstructions is a challenge. An infant with a massive left ventricular rhabdomyoma mimicking the haemodynamics of hypoplastic left heart syndrome is reported. Surgery could not be contemplated because the mitral valve leaflets and chordae were imbedded in the tumour mass. The arterial duct (AD) was kept open to perfuse the systemic circulation and palliations with pulmonary artery branch banding and AD stenting were planned. However; while waiting for spontaneous regression of the tumour, the child died of circulatory collapse when 4 weeks old.
