RESUMO
Intramyocardial dissecting hematoma (IDH) is a rare and very dangerous complication of myocardial infarction (MI) and percutaneous intervention. Hemorrhage inside the spiral fibers of the myocardium causes this type of dreaded complication. We have reported a case of IDH following acute anterior wall MI. The patient's electrocardiogram showed ST elevation in precordial leads. The serum troponin level was elevated. IDH should be considered a rare complication after acute MI. The patient may present with features of cardiogenic shock. A two-dimensional echocardiography may demonstrate this type of complication.
RESUMO
LEOPARD syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominantly inherited or sporadic disorder of variable penetrance and expressivity. The acronym LEOPARD stands for its cardinal clinical features including Lentigines, Electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, Ocular hypertelorism, Pulmonary stenosis, Abnormalities of genitalia, Retardation of growth, and Deafness. We present herein a patient with LEOPARD syndrome and distinctive features. It was noteworthy that our patient presented with the concern of generalized lentiginosis and subsequent evaluation revealed that the patient had LEOPARD syndrome. In this report we would like to highlight the importance of detailed clinical examination and appropriate imaging in patients with multiple lentigines.
