To our knowledge, this is the first patient to survive correction of this problem after massive hemorrhage. © 1989
Rare Etiology of Acute Embolic Stroke in a 17-Year-Old Girl: Cardiac Papillary Fibroelastoma
No full textAbstractA cardiac papillary fibroelastoma is a benign, pedunculated tumor with strand-like projections arising from the endocardium. While often discovered incidentally, these tumors can embolize resulting in major neurologic events. There is a dearth of pediatric literature describing the necessity and optimal timing of surgical intervention for this rare primary cardiac tumor after a cerebrovascular event. We report an interesting case and the subsequent management dilemma in a teenage patient presenting with acute embolic strokes secondary to an aortic valve papillary fibroelastoma. Despite its rarity, a high index of suspicion should be maintained for such tumors in previously healthy children presenting with acute stroke.</jats:p
