Primary Tumour of Right Auricle of Heart, Rupture of Inferior Vena Cava

Wilms' tumour propagated through the inferior vena cava into the right heart cavities.

A report is made of a rare case of Wilms' tumour which simulated clinically a syndrome of ;right heart failure', as found in some cases of Ebstein's disease. The clinical, radiological, and electrocardiographic study led to the suspicion of this type of malformation. The cine-angiographic study revealed two important facts: the impossibility of approaching the inferior vena cava with opaque mat...

Since then, because of improved prehospital care and early triage, it has been demonstrated that injuries resulting in rupture of the heart and pericardium are no longer always fatal. We present a case of a patient who arrived at the hospital with increasing abdominal girth and...
