Key result
Electrocardiography-gated CT angiography successfully identified a giant caseous mitral annular calcification, excluding pseudoaneurysm and neoplasm in an 82-year-old woman with precordial pain.
Case Report (n=1)
Giant caseous mitral annular calcification is a benign condition that can be misdiagnosed as a ventricular pseudoaneurysm on contrast-enhanced CT images.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Gated CTA may differentiate caseous mitral annular calcification from pseudoaneurysm; single case leaves open broader validation.
Galea et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Giant caseous mitral annular calcification (n=1). Electrocardiography-gated computed tomography (CT) angiography was evaluated on Diagnosis of giant caseous calcification of the mitral annulus. Electrocardiography-gated CT angiography successfully identified a giant caseous mitral annular calcification, excluding pseudoaneurysm and neoplasm in an 82-year-old woman with precordial pain.
