  • Title: Right ventricular wall abscess in structurally normal heart after leg osteomyelitis: First case.
    Author: Ahmad T, Pasarad AK, Kishore KS, Maheshwarappa NN.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2016 Sep; 24(7):692-5. PubMed ID: 26068937.
    Abstract:
    A 3-year-old girl presented with fever and acute dyspnea for 4 days. She had suffered an injury to the left lower leg 3 weeks earlier, with abscess formation. Magnetic resonance imaging showed osteomyelitis of the lower tibia. Echocardiography showed a mass in the right ventricular wall. She underwent concomitant heart surgery for removal of the right ventricular mass and limb arthrotomy. We believe this is a first reported case in which a ventricular wall abscess developed in a structurally normal heart following leg osteomyelitis.
