Article Synopsis
- * The text discusses a specific case where caseous calcification was discovered incidentally and confirmed using advanced imaging techniques like CT and cardiac MRI.
- * Key learning points include recognizing that caseous calcification is uncommon, distinguishing it from potential cardiac tumors or abscesses, and understanding that advanced imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis and assessment.
Detecting dilated coronary sinus when assessing patients in an acute emergency with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is important for differential diagnosis, including the detection of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) and right ventricular dysfunction. Cardiac POCUS with agitated saline injections through the left and right antecubital veins is a simple bedside test to make the diagnosis. We present a 42-year-old woman with first-time rapid atrial flutter in whom POCUS confirmed the presence of dilated coronary sinus and PLSVC.
