Resection of ventricular rhabdomyomas in infants presenting with cardiac failure

  • Narendra R. Dereddy (a1), Suvro S. Sett (a2) and Usha Krishnan (a3)
Abstract

Rhabdomyomas are the most common cardiac tumours in children. They sometimes cause significant obstruction of the ventricular out flow tracts. We report a series of 3 neonates diagnosed antenatally with multiple rhabdomyomas, who developed significant obstruction of the ventricular outflow tracts following birth. They underwent surgical resection in the neonatal period with good outcome. Antenatal diagnosis of obstructive cardiac tumours allows for planning for appropriate early intervention.
