Obstructive Sleep

Introduction. Cardiac lipomas are rare benign cardiac tumors. The symptoms they cause and the diagnosis depend on their size and location. Case Report. We report the case of a 69-year-old male, whose main symptom was progressive dyspnea on exertion and in the supine position. The diagnosis of a large subepicardial lipoma in the wall of the right atrium, causing superior vena cava compression and consecutive obstructive sleep apnea syndrom, was made using different imaging techniques. The patient underwent open heart surgery, and the tumor was extracted with no intraoperative and postoperative complications. During a 1-year follow up, he remained asymptomatic, with no clinical signs of obstructive sleep apnea after the surgery. Conclusion. When it comes to the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, cardiac tumors should be considered.

Vena Cava Thrombosis

✓ The authors report an unusual case of superior vena cava thrombosis in an infant who subsequently developed communicating hydrocephalus; they also review previously reported cases of dural sinus hypertension, and separate them into two groups. Patients in the first group develop hydrocephalus and those in the second develop a pseudotumor-like syndrome. The former patients tend to have generalized increase in intracranial venous pressure while the latter have a normal pressure in some major intracranial venous structure(s). The absence of venous cushioning of the choroid plexus pulse wave is proposed as the cause of ventricular enlargement in the former group. In addition, patients in the large-ventricle group were younger than patients in the small-ventricle group.
