  • Title: [Cardiac tumors with neonatal disclosure. Apropos of a case with spontaneously favorable development].
    Author: Isnard-Baladi J, Iselin M, Venezia R, Potier JC, Foucault JP.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1985 May; 78(5):785-9. PubMed ID: 3925924.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a cardiac tumour documented by 2 D echocardiography, presenting in the newborn with cardiac arrest. The echocardiographic features of multiple nodules disseminated in the ventricular walls suggested a diagnosis of rhabdomyoma. The initial course was complicated by poorly tolerated attacks of tachycardia which were rapidly brought under control with amiodarone. The long term outcome was clinically favourable with a rapid regression of the number and size of the tumours on echocardiography, and a tendency to normalisation of the electrocardiogramme. The possibility of regression, which has already been reported by many investigators, suggests that these cardiac tumours may have a better prognosis than previously thought.
