Abstract
5 day old term female with prenatal history of an intracardiac tumor followed by a post-natal echocardiography indentifying a large cystic mass compressing both ventricles, but without significant outflow tract obstruction. Cardiac MRI imaging showed a very large ventricular septal cystic mass most consistent with a primary cardiac teratoma causing mild LVOT obstruction.
Highlights
CMR is an established method for evaluation of cardiac masses
Summary 5 day old term female with prenatal history of an intracardiac tumor followed by a post-natal echocardiography indentifying a large cystic mass compressing both ventricles, but without significant outflow tract obstruction
It is superior to other modalities as it can provide tissue characteristics, allowing highly accurate differentiation of benign from malignant tumors, as well as local mass effects such as outflow compression

Amy L Tipton1*, Kan N Hor, Wojciech Mazur, David Collins, Melissa King-Strunk, William Gottliebson, Michael Taylor. Summary 5 day old term female with prenatal history of an intracardiac tumor followed by a post-natal echocardiography indentifying a large cystic mass compressing both ventricles, but without significant outflow tract obstruction. Cardiac MRI imaging showed a very large ventricular septal cystic mass most consistent with a primary cardiac teratoma causing mild LVOT obstruction. Chamber views and short axis multislice cine stacks; tagged SPAMM cines in 3 short and 2 long axis planes; gadolinium-enhanced myocardial first pass perfusion and delayed enhancement imaging in both short and long axis planes. Pre- and post-contrast T1 FSE single phase short axis stacks. Both right and left ventricular volumes and tumor volume were measured at end systole and end-diastole using MEDIS QMass software
