| Popis: | Myxomas of the mitral valve diagnosed during life are exceedingly rare. We employed transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging enhanced by gadolinium-diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic acid in a patient with palpitations. After these examinations clearly demonstrated a myxoma on the atrial side of the posterior mitral valve leaflet, urgent surgery was performed. When a small tumour of the mitral valve exists, these examinations are useful not only for detecting and characterizing the tumour, but also for deciding the optimal surgical management. |
