Myocardial Infarction Due to Coronary Compression by a Rhabdomyoma

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Hadassah Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Summary

Congenital cardiac tumors are rare in neonates. A rhabdomyoma, the most common neonatal cardiac tumor, tends to regress in the first year of life. Indications for intervention include hemodynamic compromise and intractable arrhythmias. To the best of our knowledge, rhabdomyoma-induced ischemia has not yet been reported. We report a case of a neonate with multiple rhabdomyomas with myocardial infarction related to compression of a coronary artery.
