Lambl’s Excrescence Associated with Cryptogenic Stroke: A Case Report and Literature Review
BACKGROUND In 1856, a Bohemian physician, Vilém Dušan Lambl, first described the presence of filiform lesions in aortic valve leaflets. Lambl's excrescences are tiny filiform strands that arise on the line of valve closure, and result from valvular wear and tear. It is a rare cause of cardioembolic stroke that can be detected by transesophageal echocardiogram. CASE REPORT We encountered a 51-...
متن کاملAcute Myocardial Infarction in a Patient with Two-Vessel Occlusion and a Large Lambl's Excrescence
A 59-year-old man underwent an echocardiography study after myocardial infarction and it showed a thin, mobile mass attached to the aortic valve. A diagnosis of Lambl's excrescence (LE) was suspected. Coronary occlusion as a consequence of embolism of LE's material could not be excluded and the patient underwent surgical excision. Histology confirmed the diagnosis; however a differential diagno...
متن کاملPitfall in Echocardiography: infective endocarditis or valvular strand? Case report.
Lambl's excrescences are thin filiform mobile processes with thin attachment at valvular closure lines. In this case report we describe the transesophageal views of Lambl's excrescences; our case is meant to serve as a classic example of this commonly misinterpreted lesion.
متن کاملPapillary fibroelastoma of the aortic valve - a case report and literature review
The prevalence of primary cardiac tumour ranges from 0.0017-0.28% and papillary fibroelastoma is rare but not uncommon benign cardiac neoplasm. Currently, with the advent of higher-resolution imaging technology especially transoesophageal echocardiography such cases being recognized frequently. The clinical presentation of these tumours varies from asymptomatic to severe ischaemic or embolic co...
متن کاملLambl's excrescences: A case report and review of the literature.
Lambl's excrescences are filamentous extensions of cardiac valves, mostly asymptomatic but rarely associated with catastrophic thromboembolic events such as acute ischemic stroke and acute coronary syndromes. Numerous case reports cited in the literature have addressed various spectrum of presentation of these syndromes and their outcomes based on therapies used. We encountered such a patient f...
