Idiopathic left ventricular pseudo aneurysm that look like left ventricle mass image

Abstract

The first step for the diagnosis of cardiac masses is transeoshageal and transthorasic echocardiography. Coronary angiography, multi detector computed tomography MDCT and magnetic resonance imaging are used for differential diagnosis 1 . We present a case of left ventricular pseudo aneurysm which resembles left ventricular mass image in the echocardiographic examination.

Sol ventrikül kitle imajı gibi görünen idiopatik sol ventrikül psödoanevrizması

Abstract

Kardiyak kitlelerin tanısında ilk basamak transtorasik ekokardiyografi ve transözefagial ekokardiyografidir. Ayırıcı tanıda koroner angiografi, MDCT ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme kullanılır. Biz ekokardiyografik inceleme sırasında sol ventriküler kitle imajına benzeyen bir sol ventrikül psödoanevrizması olgusu sunduk.
