Refractory Fetal and Neonatal Supraventricular Tachycardia Associated With Mitral Valve Mass

Primary cardiac tumors in children are rare and mostly benign but can cause significant cardiovascular complications, including arrhythmias.We present a rare case of fetal and neonatal refractory supraventricular tachycardia linked to a probable mitral valve hemangioma, resulting in severe neonatal...

Description
Summary:Primary cardiac tumors in children are rare and mostly benign but can cause significant cardiovascular complications, including arrhythmias.We present a rare case of fetal and neonatal refractory supraventricular tachycardia linked to a probable mitral valve hemangioma, resulting in severe neonatal and maternal morbidity. Despite challenges, pharmacological therapy ultimately successfully managed the condition, highlighting the importance of individualized treatment in such complex cases.
