Mitral pseudostenosis due to a large left atrial myxoma

  • We present the case of a 71-year-old male who was transferred from a district hospital to our tertiary centre due to a large left atrial myxoma. Surgical removal of the myxoma was planned. The preoperative transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated in detail the myxoma and its anatomical relation with the other cardiac structures. The mitral valve was intact, although severe mitral pseudostenosis was noted.
