Abstract
Left atrial (LA) thrombus with calcification is a rare anomaly in rheumatic mitral stenosis. An accurate preoperative evaluation is critical for making clinical decisions and surgical plans. This report describes a case of rheumatic heart disease in a patient who presented with the unusual imaging manifestation of massive LA thrombus with calcification. The precise anatomic features of massive LA thrombus with calcification were demonstrated by enhanced multidetector computed tomography.
