The Spectrum of Caseous Mitral Annulus Calcifications

Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a chronic, degenerative condition of the fibrous mitral annulus, which may transform to liquefaction necrosis MAC, a rare variant of caseous MAC. We present a series of experiences, showing the varying manifestations of caseous MAC according to multimodal imaging. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
