All that attaches to atrial septum is not myxoma: deception is everywhere!
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2021
Abstract
Preterm neonates – especially those with prolonged duration of intensive care stay – are prone to develop fungal endocarditis. Majority of these children have a stormy course, however, a few may be relatively asymptomatic. Occasionally these vegetations may be large and pedunculated, originating from the atrial septum, mimicking a cardiac myxoma on echocardiography.
