“Ebstein's Anomaly” a Potential Cause of Misinterpretation on Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with history of Ebstein's anomaly who was referred to nuclear medicine department for a myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging during pre-anesthetic che...

description Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with history of Ebstein's anomaly who was referred to nuclear medicine department for a myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging during pre-anesthetic check-up. Myocardial SPECT perfusion images with (99mTc)-Sestamibi demonstrated medium sizes fixed perfusion defect in the mid and proximal infero-septal wall adjacent inferior wall. This is a cause of potential misinterpretation on myocardial SPECT perfusion imaging as this perfusion defect was due to fibrosis rather than scarred myocardium.
