Overview

Right ventricular myxoma may explain exertional syncope and heart failure in adolescents; extends sparse pediatric ventricular myxoma reports but remains hypothesis-generating.

Study Design

Type

Case Report (n=1)

Structured PICO

P
Population
A 15-year-old female patient presenting with syncope on exertion and congestive heart failure symptoms due to a huge right ventricular myxoma.
I
Intervention
Surgical excision of the mass and tricuspid annuloplasty repair using right atriotomy and vertical right ventriculotomy approaches.
O
Outcome
Successful surgical excision and patient discharge.

Early echocardiography and multimodality imaging are essential for the diagnosis and surgical planning of rare right ventricular myxomas, which may lack contrast enhancement due to internal hemorrhage.
