RIGHT ATRIAL MYXOMA

A case of right atrial myxoma in a 5 year old male is presented. The Patient was admitted in the pediatric department with systemic manifestations. Myxoma was incidentally diagnosed.

Atrial enlargement as a consequence of atrial fibrillation.

To test the hypothesis that atrial enlargement can develop as a consequence of atrial fibrillation, left and right atrial dimensions were measured echocardiographically at two different time points in patients with atrial fibrillation. Patients were selected who initially had normal atrial sizes and who had no evidence of significant structural or functional cardiac abnormalities other than atr...

Idiopathic right atrial enlargement with pericardial effusion.

antibodies to native DNA. A search of the literature revealed only two previously reported cases of constrictive pericarditis attributable to systemic lupus. Yurchak and co-workers5 described a patient who had systemic lupus manifested by malar rash, antinuclear antibodies, and LE cells at the time when constrictive pericarditis developed. However, he also had an atrial septal defect and rheuma...
