Highlights a rare presentation of congenital cardiac rhabdomyoma causing left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in a neonate.
May prompt rhabdomyoma consideration in neonatal LVOTO; leaves open optimal management strategies.
A case of congenital cardiac rhabdomyoma presenting as left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is reported. Congenital cardiac tumours are rare. Rhabdomyomas are the most common. Fifty-one to 86% of them are associated with tuberous sclerosis. They have a tendency for spontaneous regression. The indications for surgery include haemodynamic compromise and intractable arrhythmias.
