Calcification of the left atrium can be observed in patients with a long-lasting rheumatic heart disease. However, massive calcification of the atrial wall, so called porcelain or coconut atrium is very rare and has been generally reported only as incidental radiographic findings. We report a case of massive and firm calcifications at the left atrium in patient who underwent mitral valve replacement.
在患有长期风湿性心脏病的患者中可观察到左心房钙化。然而,心房壁的大量钙化,即所谓的“瓷化心房”或“椰壳样心房”非常罕见,通常仅作为偶然的影像学发现被报道。我们报告一例在接受二尖瓣置换术的患者中左心房出现大量坚实钙化的病例。
