    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Cardiac Pathology
    • Pediatric Oncology

    Background:

    • Aortic obstruction in infants can lead to severe cyanosis and neurological symptoms.
    • Myxomatous tumors are rare cardiac neoplasms, with left ventricular origin being particularly uncommon.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a rare case of left ventricular myxoma causing aortic obstruction in an infant.
    • To discuss the pathological implications of cardiac myxoma in pediatric cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report of an eighteen-month-old infant.
    • Clinical presentation review including cyanosis fits and cerebral manifestations.
    • Post-mortem examination findings analysis.

    Main Results:

    • The infant experienced recurrent cyanosis and cerebral symptoms due to intermittent aortic occlusion.
    • A myxomatous tumor of the left ventricle was identified as the cause of aortic obstruction.
    • Post-mortem findings supported the classification of cardiac myxoma as a true tumor.

    Conclusions:

    • Left ventricular myxoma can present as a critical cause of aortic obstruction in infants.
    • Cardiac myxomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric obstructive cardiomyopathies.
    • This case underscores the importance of thorough post-mortem examination in diagnosing rare pediatric cardiac conditions.
