Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus: mimicking a cardiac mass. [PDF]

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2023
Mitral annulus calcification is a common incidental finding in echocardiography examination of predisposed populations. On the other hand, caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a rare variant that challenges the physician to differentiate it ...

Caseous Mitral Annular Calcification Presenting as Retinal Artery Occlusion [PDF]

European Medical Journal, 2023
Caseous mitral annular calcification (CMAC), sometimes called liquefaction necrosis of mitral annular calcification (MAC), is a rare variant of MAC, a chronic degenerative process that progresses with age. It is a degenerative abnormality of the fibrous

Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus with mitral regurgitation and impairment of functional capacity: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2008
Introduction Mitral annular calcification is a common echocardiographic finding, especially in the elderly. Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus, however, is a relatively rare variant, having an echocardiographic prevalence of 0.6% in patients ...

Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus

Евразийский Кардиологический Журнал, 2023
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is a rare form of degenerative lesion of the mitral valve fibrous ring. It’s a biochemical transformation of calcification area accompanied with formation of masses of a curdled consistency (caseosis ...

Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus: A Rare Cause of Intracardiac Mass

Case Reports in Radiology, 2012
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a rare form of periannular calcification with a mass-like appearance, that has to be in the differential of the cardiologist and radiologist.

Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Valve [PDF]

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2023
Teaching Point: Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus is a benign mass-like lesion which can mimic cardiac tumor or abscess; therefore, multimodal imaging should be considered, avoiding unnecessary interventions.

Approach to An Unusual Cardiac Mass: Mitral Annulus Caseoma

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2020
Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (CCMA) is known to be a rare variant of mitral annulus calcification, a chronic and degenerative process of the mitral valve fibrous ring. It usually carries a benign prognosis.
