"Ebstein's Anomaly" a potential cause of misinterpretation on myocardial perfusion imaging
- 1. Department of Nuclear Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar (India)
Description
Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with history of Ebstein's anomaly who was referred to nuclear medicine department for a myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging during pre-anesthetic check-up. Myocardial SPECT perfusion images with (99mTc)-Sestamibi demonstrated medium sizes fixed perfusion defect in the mid and proximal infero-septal wall adjacent inferior wall. This is a cause of potential misinterpretation on myocardial SPECT perfusion imaging as this perfusion defect was due to fibrosis rather than scarred myocardium. (author)
