Spontaneous left atrial intramural hematoma associated with large hemorrhagic pericardial effusion
2016, Journal of Cardiology CasesCitation Excerpt :In this report, none of the known factors that were found associated with the occurrence of intramural atrial hematomas have been identified making the diagnosis of this case unique and worth studying. The echocardiographic finding of a cystic mass in this case raised the differential diagnosis of hydatidosis, a cystic myxoma, pseudocyst of the right atrial wall related to ventriculo-peritoneal shunts, external compression by neoplasms, and atrial dissection [9,10]. Clinically, the patient suffered from atrial fibrillation long before the current diagnosis.
An unusual cause of recurrent syncope: Mediastinal lymphoma diagnosed with transesophageal echocardiography
2005, European Journal of Internal MedicineMetastases to the heart
2004, Annals of OncologyCitation Excerpt :Intracavitary lesions can also be detected with high sensitivity. In cases of peri- or paracardial lesions, the transesophageal approach is superior to the transthoracic approach [81, 84]. Supplemental diagnostic imaging methods are computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging of a case of intramural left atrial hematoma

2001, American Journal of GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :Typically, lesions in the deep mediastinum have been examined and biopsied using either computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, bronchoscopy or with mediastinoscopy/thoracotomy (4–6). With the advent of transesophageal echocardiography (7–10) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), the middle and posterior mediastinum have become accessible to ultrasonographic investigation. Since endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was introduced in the early 1990s (11–18), there has been a growing interest among gastroenterologists to play a larger role in the evaluation of mediastinal masses in general (19–22), as well as in the staging of lung cancer (21, 23, 24).
