Left atrial wall calcifications are an extremely rare finding of unknown cause usually associated with rheumatic disease. Only a few case reports of this entity are found in the literature, mostly describing the findings on conventional chest radiography, echocardiography, and angiography. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case documented with multislice computed tomography.
左心房壁钙化是一种病因不明的极其罕见的发现,通常与风湿性疾病相关。文献中仅发现少数关于该实体的病例报告,大多描述了传统胸部X线摄影、超声心动图和血管造影的检查结果。据我们所知,这是首例通过多层螺旋计算机断层扫描记录的病例。
