Key result
Partial surgical resection of a giant right ventricular fibroma in a four-month-old infant resulted in uneventful recovery.
Why the study?
Congenital cardiac fibromas are very rare, and prenatal diagnosis has been reported in only a few cases.
Case Report (n=1)
Partial surgical resection can be a successful management strategy for symptomatic giant right ventricular fibromas in early infancy.
May support partial resection in symptomatic neonatal RV fibromas; leaves open optimal timing, extent, and long-term outcomes.
Congenital cardiac fibromas are very rare and prenatal diagnosis has been reported in just a few cases. We describe a four-month-old infant presenting a symptomatic giant right ventricular fibroma discovered during prenatal scanning at 33 weeks of gestation, which was confirmed after delivery on echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Due to progressive hemodynamic deterioration, partial surgical resection was performed and the patient recovered uneventfully. We report the successful management during early infancy of a giant cardiac fibroma prenatally diagnosed.
