Abstract
Intracardiac masses on echocardiography can represent thrombi, vegetations, or tumors. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a sensitive tool that differentiates between the three. Intracardiac thrombi can develop during various pathological conditions that cause stasis of blood and predispose to the aggregation of thrombotic material. Atrial clots can occur in conditions like atrial fibrillation, structural heart diseases, thrombophilia, and chronic inflammations. Tuberculosis (TB) is a prothrombotic state and can predispose to venous and sometimes arterial clot formation. But intracardiac clots in TB are rare. We report a young patient presenting with bilateral intracardiac clots and diagnosed to have disseminated tuberculosis. Treatment with anti-tubercular therapy and therapeutic anticoagulation leads to complete resolution of the thrombi.
