Volumineuse tumeur cardiaque révélée par un trouble du rythme ventriculaire chez un nourrisson de 18 mois

Cardiac tumors are rare in childhood and can be revealed by arrhythmias. We report the observation of an 18-month-old infant who had an episode of ventricular tachycardia (VT) which resulted in a large intramyocardic tumour diagnosis evocating a left ventricular fibroma. A treatment by amiodarone allowed a stable reduction of the VT. The presence of an intracardiac obstruction or uncontrollable arrhythmias would lead to a surgical resection.
