GIANT TRUE CYST OF THE MITRAL VALVE WITH OBSTRUCTION OF THE LEFT VENTRICULAR OUTFLOW TRACT. RADIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS AND SURGICAL TREATMENT

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Intracardiac cyst is an extremely rare disease in adults. The article describes the clinical observation of the true cyst of the mitral valve, which led to obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. A young woman underwent transthoracic echocardiography due to complaints for shortness of breath, which revealed a floating rounded formation with the echo negative content on the anterior flap of the mitral valve. Transesophageal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of intracardiac formation. The patient was successfully operated on. The histological test verified the true (congenital) cyst of the mitral valve.
