Regression of Cardiac Rhabdomyomas Producing a Severe Aortic Stenosis: Case Report and Discussion of the Literature.


ABSTRACT: We describe a case of a voluminous rhabdomyoma (R) detected by fetal echocardiography at 32 weeks' gestation (w.g.) obstructing the left ventricular inflow and aortic outflow tract, with a moderate aortic gradient at birth, not needing immediate surgery. At follow-up, the mass progressively regressed, leaving the aortic valve partly damaged, with a gradient that increased to a maximum of 100 mmHg at 9 years. The girl was then operated on successfully by a plasty of the aortic valve. The literature regarding R is discussed.
