초록
The left atrial (LA) calcification is a relatively uncommon complication of long-standing rheumatic valvular heart disease.1) Completed calcification of LA has been described as a ‘coconut atrium’2)3) or ‘porcelain atrium’.4)5) Porcelain atrium involves the LA appendage, the free wall of the LA and the mitral valve apparatus, except interatrial septum, whereas coconut atrium involves all areas of the LA.2-5) Porcelain atrium or coconut atrium is rare disease entity, furthermore the massive calcification of LA after mitral valve replacement has been reported very few the cases.6)7)Authors experienced a 67-year-old woman who had massive LA calcification after mitral valve replacement. Therefore,we report this case with review of literature.
