Routine Chest

Pericardial cysts are uncommon benign lesions of the middle mediastinum, making up less than 6% of all mediastinal masses. They are often detected as incidental findings on chest imaging and some can resolve spontaneously. Rarely, however, they may cause symptoms of chest pain, right ventricular outflow obstruction, and persistent cough. Furthermore, they may affect cardiac tamponade after acute rupture or cyst haemorrhage resulting in sudden death. We report the case of a 102-year-old woman presenting with urosepsis, in whom routine chest radiography was initially suspicious of advanced bronchial carcinoma. Further imaging supported a diagnosis of one of the largest pericardial cysts described in the literature located in the right parahilar space. The patient was appropriately managed conservatively.

Pericardial masses include cysts, pericardial tumours, and pericardial haematomas. Pericardial cysts are benign lesions commonly located in the right cardiophrenic angle that remain typically asymptomatic and are incidentally found in chest X-ray or chest computed tomography but might cause pressure symptoms or become infected, thus requiring surgical management. Hydatid cysts due to echinococcosis are the most common acquired pericardial cysts, characterized by wall calcification, and indicate surgery.

Bronchogenic Cysts

Mediastinal cysts are fluid-filled lesions surrounded by a thin wall with an epithelial lining. These cysts are typically congenital, account for approximately 15-20% of all mediastinal masses, and may be found in any mediastinal compartment. Although mediastinal cysts may be initially detected on chest radiography, these lesions are optimally evaluated with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cysts typically manifest as well-circumscribed, spherical lesions of water attenuation or signal, buy may appear heterogeneous when complicated by hemorrhage or infection. A focused differential diagnosis may be generated based on lesion location. For instance, bronchogenic cysts are most common in the middle mediastinum and pericardial cysts are typically found in the right cardiophrenic angle. Other mediastinal cysts include esophageal duplication and neurenteric cyst. Although meningocele is not a true cyst, it exhibits a cystic appearance on imaging.

Enlargement of the bulboventricular foramen (BVF) in double-inlet left ventricle or the ventricular septal defect (VSD) in tricuspid atresia with transposition of the great arteries is one approach for prevention or treatment of systemic ventricular outflow obstruction. Most often, BVF/VSD restriction is bypassed preemptively or addressed directly at the time of Glenn/Fontan procedures as part of staged univentricular palliation. We describe a patient who underwent enlargement of a restrictive VSD during Fontan completion and subsequently presented with an asymptomatic pseudoaneurysm of the right ventricle at the ventriculotomy site.

Septic pulmonary emboli (SPE) can be a difficult clinical entity to distinguish from thromboembolic pulmonary embolism (TPE) in a patient with history of IV drug abuse (IVDA). We present a case of a patient who presented with failure to thrive and presumed diagnosis of recurrent PE that ultimately was discovered to have fungal pulmonary valve endocarditis resulting in a right ventricular outflow obstruction. This required replacement of the pulmonary valve and repair of the right ventricular outflow tract. This case highlights difficulty in differentiating pulmonary valve endocarditis with septic emboli from chronic PE in a patient with a complex medical history.

AbstractAneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rare. Unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is usually asymptomatic and rarely presents as right ventricular outflow obstruction, myocardial infarction as a result of coronary artery compression, conduction disturbances, or endocarditis. They have only been reported as the presumed source of embolism in six cases. We report a patient with right sinus of Valsalva rupture to the right atrium and embolization of aneurysm contents to the pulmonary vasculature.

AbstractRhabdomyomas are the most common paediatric cardiac tumours. The natural history of these tumours is mostly benign, and the tumour usually regresses spontaneously. Although surgical resection of these tumours is one of the considerations in patients with ventricular outflow obstruction, a palliation with Blalock–Taussig shunt is an alternative approach with the hope of regression of the tumour over time. We report a case of prenatally diagnosed rhabdomyomas in the right ventricle and its outflow presenting as hemodynamic simulating hypoplastic right ventricle in a newborn. She required prostaglandin and Blalock–Taussig shunts palliation for pulmonary flow and subsequent regression of tumours.

SummaryAccessory atrioventricular valvar tissue is uncommon and, on occasion, has been identified as a cause of ventricular outflow obstruction. Accessory tricuspid valvar tissue has been reported to cause subpulmonary obstruction but infrequently has accessory tissue arising from the mitral valve been associated with obstruction. This paper reports two cases of subvalvar obstruction; the first in association with a ventricular septal defect causing subaortic obstruction and the other in association with congenitally corrected transposition and a ventricular septal defect, causing subpulmonary obstruction.
