Abstract

Cardiac rhabdomyomas are
the most comman cardiac tumors in children. They are hamartomatous benign
tumors composed of myocytes. They often presents as multiple lesions involving
the ventricular cavities. Rhabdomyomas are usually detected in utero by fetal
echocardiography. Although patients with cardiac rhabdomyomas are generally
asymptomatic these tumors may cause heart failure, severe arrhyhmias and sudden
death. Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often associated with
tuberosclerosis and they may be the
earliest manifestation of

tuberosclerosis.
  Here, we report a newborn infant with
antenatally detected
cardiac
rhabdomyomas associated with

tuberosclerosis and we want to emphasize that other diagnostic features of
tuberosclerosis should be evaluated in patients with
cardiac
rhabdomyomas.

Kardiyak rabdomiyom: yenidoğan döneminde tanı alan tüberoskleroz kompleksi olgusu

Abstract

Kardiyak tümörler tüm
yaş gruplarında çok nadir görülmesine karşın rabdomiyom çocukluk çağında en sık
görülen primer kardiyak tümördür. Kardiyak rabdomiyomlar miyositlerden köken
alan, çoğunlukla birden çok kitleler şeklinde görülen iyi huylu hamartamatöz
lezyonlardır. Antenatal bakım
hizmetlerinin yaygınlaşması sonucunda prenatal tanınma sıklığı artmıştır.
Genellikle asemptomatik olmasına rağmen kalp yetmezliğine, ciddi aritmiye ve
ölüme yol açabilirler. Rabdomiyomlar tüberoskleroz kompleksinin en erken
bulgusu olabilir. Bu yazıda fetal ultrasonografide rabdomiyom ile uyumlu
intrakardiyak kitle saptanan ve tüberoskleroz kompleksi tanısı alan bir
yenidoğan olgusu, rabdomiyom saptanan
hastalarda, tüberoskleroz kompleksinin diğer bulgularının araştırılması
gerekliliğini vurgulamak

amacıyla sunuldu
