  • Title: Caseous Calcification of Mitral Annulus: A Rare Monster Leading to Cerebrovascular Accident.
    Author: Memon S, Chhabra L, Krainski F, Parker MW, Swales H.
    Journal: Conn Med; 2015 Oct; 79(9):551-2. PubMed ID: 26630708.
    Abstract:
    Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare variant of mitral annular calcification that maybe easily misdiagnosed or confused with an abscess, a tumor, or infective vegetation. The main pathophysiological mechanism leading to CCMA involves degeneration and calcium deposition on the mitral valve. We present a case of CCMA to help understand this clinical entity.
