Metastatic extension of Ewing's sarcoma to the right heart chambers: a rare case report.

Background: Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is a common malignant bone tumor in adolescents and young adults. Its pelvic location is associated with a worse prognosis. Our case represents one of the rare instances in the literature involving an adult patient in whom the disease progressed fatally due to cardiac extension.

[Tamponade due to a ruptured mature teratoma : A rare case report].

Introduction: Mature teratomas, a diverse group of germ cell tumors, rarely present with complications such as rupture.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a 27-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with acute dyspnea. A tamponade was diagnosed and the patient underwent a pericardial puncture.

Pediatric cardiac hydatid cysts: a diagnostic odyssey: a rare case report.

Introduction: Hydatidosis, caused by the Echinococcus tapeworm, typically manifests with hepatic and pulmonary symptoms, but cardiac involvement, especially in pediatric cases, poses a rare challenge. This overview emphasizes the diagnostic complexities and potential complications associated with this uncommon parasitic disease.

Case Presentation: A 4-year-old child was presented with epigastric pain after an abdominal impact trauma.

A rare clinical case of systemic AA amyloidosis with cardiac involvement complicating ankylosing spondylitis: a case report.

Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of chronic inflammation that is most prevalent in young adults and is characterized by an inflammatory enthesiopathy that gradually develops toward ossification and ankylosis. If inflammation is left unchecked, it can potentially lead to complications such as secondary amyloidosis, also known as AA amyloidosis, involving the deposition of amyloid serum A protein. Our case presents with a thyroid localization of AA amyloidosis which is secondary to this AS.

[Tableau d'insuffisance cardiaque congestive révélant une myocardite lupique : cas clinique].

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is a disease in which the immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues throughout the body. Lupus myocarditis is a life-threatening condition, observed clinically in 3-9 % of patients with SLE. We report the case of a patient followed for multisystem SLE, presenting with de novo heart failure with severe left ventricular dysfunction revealing lupus myocarditis.

[Association of a myxoma of the left atrium and a mitral stenosis : About a case].

Atrial myxoma is a rare and benign clinical entity. It remains common in women and mainly affects the left atrium. Its clinical picture is polymorphic.

Ischemic Stroke Revealing Libman-Sacks Endocarditis: A Case Report.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is a characteristic but rare feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which can be found in association with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), exposing the patient to an increased embolism risk, particularly the occurrence of ischemic stroke. We present a case involving a 64-year-old man who was admitted for ischemic stroke accompanied by a fever. Cardiac investigation revealed mitral vegetations along with severe mitral regurgitation.

Rare case series of adult interrupted aortic arch.

Unlabelled: Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare congenital heart condition where there is a complete discontinuation between the ascending and descending aorta. The association with a patent ductus arteriosus or developed arterial collateral allows survival until adulthood in extremely rare cases. We report a case series of adult forms of IAA.

Left Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy and Myocardial Bridging Association: A Coincidence Or a Usual Association?

Left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital disease. It occurs due to an arrest of the myocardial fibers compaction during embryogenesis. Myocardial bridge (MB) is a coronary anomaly in which the myocardium.

The national moroccan registry of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MR-MI).

Background: MR-MI is the first national Moroccan ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) registry. Its objectives are to assess patient management modalities and highlight the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of this pathology in all cardiology centres on a national scale.

Methods: Adult patients presenting with STEMI within 5 days of symptoms onset were enrolled over a period of 18 weeks from April to August 2018.

Spontaneous calcific cerebral embolization revealing a calcified rheumatic mitral stenosis: a case report.

Background: Cerebral cardiac embolism accounts for an increasing proportion of ischemic strokes and transient ischemic attacks. Calcified cerebral emboli are rare and mostly iatrogenic secondary to heart or aorta catheterization. However, spontaneous cerebral calcified embolism in the case of calcified aortic valve is very rare and there are less than 10 case reports in the literature.

[Bilateral adrenal hemorrhage on apixaban in primary antiphospholipid syndrome].

Adrenal hemorrhage is a classical but rare complication of antiphospholipid syndrome, revealing diagnosis in one third of the cases. Anti-vitamin K therapy is the standard treatment but direct oral anticoagulants are discussed as an alternative. In the latest recommendations, it is advised not to use direct oral anticoagulants in the setting of antiphospholipid syndrome.

Cardiac involvement in cancer patients under chemotherapy and diagnosed with COVID-19: case report and literature review.

Many cases of severe cardiac complications due to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were reported. Cancer and chemotherapy appear to be risk and prognostic factors for COVID-19. A 49-year-old Female, with a history of breast cancer treated by tumorectomy and anthracycline-based chemotherapy was admitted with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) confirmed as COVID-19.
