| Popis: | Cardiac tumors are a rare pathology, especially among infants. For a long time, they were identified only on the autopsy or as an incidental finding during cardiovascular interventions. However, with additional experience, improved methods of the echocardiography and wide-scale introduction of additional diagnostic methods, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into practice, it has become possible to establish a life-time and, recently, even a prenatal diagnosis of this pathology. The presented clinical case demonstrates the need to apply an integrated approach and potential of applying such diagnostic methods as echocardiography, MRI, multi-spiral CT and positron emission tomography/CT in children with cardiac tumors for the diagnostics of the severity of the cardio-vascular defects, determination of treatment tactics and prognosis of a therapy. |
