  • Title: Liquefaction necrosis of mitral annulus calcification.
    Author: Mallisho M, Hwang I, Alsafwah SF.
    Journal: J Clin Ultrasound; 2014; 42(6):382-3. PubMed ID: 24420234.
    Abstract:
    Liquefaction necrosis of the mitral annulus is a rare form of peri-annular calcification that the cardiologist must be able to differentiate from other cardiac masses. It classically looks like a round or semilunar hyperdense mass with a denser peripheral rim, located mainly in the posterior mitral annulus. The case we report here was diagnosed in a 78-year-old female patient who presented with an embolic cerebral vascular accident, which raises the question of its etiopathogenic responsibility.
