The sector scan was decisive in establishing the diagnosis of multiple
rhabdomyomas of the heart in a newborn infant. Successful resection of the
tumors was performed with profound hypothermia and limited cardiopulmonary
bypass. Nine months later, the infant died of the complications of tuberous
sclerosis. This case report documents the diagnostic accuracy of the sector
scan and the potential benefit of aggressive surgical management of this
condition.
