Echocardiographic features of right ventricular diverticulum: A case report

Right ventricular diverticulum is a rare form of cardiac deformity, with a very few cases caused by pericarditis. A 60‐year‐old man sought medication because of chest congestion and shortness of breath. CT showed a soft tissue mass at the heart apex and pericardial calcification. Doppler echocardiography demonstrated a mixed cystic solid mass at the right ventricular apex. Surgical cure confirmed the diagnosis of right ventricular apex diverticulum with pericarditis. Echocardiography is contributive to the diagnosis of ventricular diverticula in measuring their size and showing the local thinning of the ventricular wall with localized bulging and abnormal motion. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
