Abstract Funding Acknowledgements none Introduction Atrial myxoma is a benign tumor of the heart , most commonly found in left atrium. The tumor must be surgically removed, because if remain untreated can lead to embolism, to arrhythmia and/or obstruction of mitral valve. Case report A 29 years old female presented due to palpitations and fatigue In the last two-three months. From recent blood tests she had a normal hematocrit and normal function of the thyroid gland. From the physical examination she had a blood pressure of 95/55 mmHg, S1S2 without any murmur, ECG with sinus rhythm and rsr" pattern. A bedside transthoracic echocardiography has performed and the findings were normal left systolic cardiac function, normal right systolic cardiac function, a large mass in left atrium without obstruction of mitral valve and a mild mitral regurgitation. The young female has been submitted for surgical removal of the cardiac mass and the anatomopathological examination has confirmed the benign nature of the atrial myxoma. Conlusion A common symptom such as palpitations are , has lead the young female to us in order to evaluate her and finally to reveal a benign cardiac tumor . Abstract P841 Figure. myxoma

Congenitally Missing

Introduction: Maxillary canines play strategic roles in maintaining the normal function and visibility of teeth. However, rare cases of bilateral permanent congenitally missing maxillary canines were occurring. Replacing these missing canines with dental implant prostheses is an optimal treatment plan for aesthetics and functions. Case Report: In this case report, we described the replacement of bilateral maxillary canines with osseointegrated implants to support all-ceramic prostheses for a young female patient. This treatment avoids the conventional preparation of adjacent teeth as a part of prosthetic reconstructions. In addition to that, all-ceramic crowns are biocompatible with oral cavity structures. Conclusion: The stable short-term result has been achieved with the replacement of the bilateral congenitally missed canines with an implant and cemented all-ceramic crowns, with 3-years cumulative success rate.

Main Components

The Mitral Valve (MV) is the left atrioventricular valve that controls blood flow between the left atrium and the left ventricle (Fig 1A-B). It has four main components: (i) the mitral annulus — a fibromuscular ring at the base of the left atrium and the ventricle; (ii) two collagenous planar leaflets — anterior and posterior; (iii) web of chordae and (iv) two papillary muscles (PM) that are part of the left ventricle (LV). Normal function of the mitral valve involves a delicate force balance between different components of the valve.

Abstract Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign cardiac tumor with diverse nonspecific clinical manifestations; moreover, atrial myxoma embolization to the peripheral vessels is rare. A 24-year-old man presented tothe emergency departement complaining ofpain and coldness of his two lower extremities. The right femoral pulse was normally felt while the pulses of the left lower limb from the femoral down to the posterior and anterior tibial arteries were not felt. Bilateral thrombectomy was performed on emergency basisand a fatty-like mass from the left femoral artery was removed. The histological examination of this mass was suggestive of myxoma.So, transthoracic echocardiography was done and confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma that was seen in the left atrium and measuring about 10X6 cm in its maximal dimensions. Surgical removal of the myxoma was done later and the patient recovered uneventfully. Conclusion Although myxomas are rare, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripheral embolic disease, especially when an embolic event occurs in a young adult without evidence of endocarditis or arrhythmia. Echocardiography is the modality of choice for diagnosis and follow-up of this type of tumors.

Symptoms And Signs

Myxomas are generally polypoid, often pedun-culated, rarely sessile, and round or oval, with smoothor soft lobulated surface. The tumor size ranges from1 to 15 cm in diameter; mostly are 5 to 6 cm. Mostmyxomas originate from left atrium. Right-sidedmyxomas are extremely rare and can present withnonspecific signs and symptoms. Despite the lackof symptoms and signs they should have a surgicalresection. Surgical removal of the tumors should beperformed as soon as possible because the long termprognosis is excellent and recurrences are rare.This paper reports a case of right atrial myxoma inan 11-year-old girl.

Tumor Embolization

Background: Cardiac myxomas are sporadic in nature and can often recur with a frequency of 3%, especially in middle-aged women, and 22% of the cases account to a part of Carney complex. Complete surgical removal of the myxoma is usually curative. Recurrence has been related with partial surgical excision, multicentricity, and embolism of tumor fragments. Case Description: We report a case of a patient with single brain metastases due to tumor embolization, from a cardiac myxoma operated prior. This case is exclusive, as tumor embolization from atrial myxoma to the cerebral cortex can be possible, within a short duration. In our case, the patient was evaluated with a magnetic resonance imaging brain and a solitary hemorrhagic lesion in the eloquent cerebral cortex was observed. To determine the primary etiology, the diagnosis of probable metastases was thought of, and a thorough workup was planned. Surprisingly, no primary lesion was detected, and as a histological diagnosis was required, he underwent a navigation-guided excisional biopsy of lesion. The biopsy was indicative of a metastatic deposit from an atrial myxoma. Conclusion: In eloquent cortex lesions, gross total resection is challenging for a neurosurgeon especially when the patient has no significant neurological deficits. Timely gross total resection of a solitary metastatic lesion can improve the patient’s outcome and can enhance early recovery with less or no morbidity.

The Mean

We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with symptoms of cerebrovascular accident manifesting with loss of consciousness during episodes of cough. Computed multislice chest tomography showed a 7.3- by 4.15-cm mass in the left atrium. A transesophageal echocardiogram showed a giant mass in the left atrium that passed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, and severe obstructive stenosis was suggested by the mean transmitral gradient. After a comprehensive assessment of the mass, we decided to perform surgery. The pedunculated and fragile mass was attached to the interatrial septum with its handle, and the majority of it prolapsed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle and became stacked among the mitral valve leaflets. The removed mass was analyzed histopathologically and was found to be a myxoma. It is important for the cardiac surgeon to surgically remove an atrial myxoma because of the risks associated with embolization, including sudden death, as myxoma can block the blood supply from the atrium to the ventricle.

Normal function of the mitral valve involves a delicate force balance between different components of the valve.

AbstractCardiac myxoma (CM) is the most frequent type of primary cardiac neoplasm and is responsible for 58 to 80% of primary cardiac tumors. The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) occurs most commonly in the systemic lupus erythematosus but it can be also found in other conditions. The coexistence of CM and APS is rarely described in the literature. We report an unusual case of the left atrial myxoma and concomitant APS in a female patient who presented with right-sided hemiplegia. Although rare, we must think about the CM in patients with a newly diagnosed APS and left atrial mass. Nevertheless, we must make a distinction from other possible cardiac structures, especially atrial thrombus. Transthoracic echocardiography is the most frequently used initial imaging modality to detect CM. The aim of this case report was to emphasize that additional imaging modalities and multidisciplinary approach are mandatory in making a proper diagnosis and to choose a further treatment strategy.

A 52 year-old male patient of severe MS with mild MR with AF with a giant left atrium (LA size 70 mm) and history of CMC presented with symptoms. Giant left atrium is a condition characterized by huge enlargement of the left atrium with a diameter exceeding 65mm. It is most commonly associated with long standing rheumatic mitral valve disease. The patient underwent successful mitral valve replacement and removal of LA thrombus and discharged from hospital with adviceCardiovasc. j. 2016; 9(1): 73-74
