On becoming blue and breathless, the baby was rushed to Fortis Malar hospital where she was diagnosed with a tumor in the heart. The child collapsed since the tumour blocking the right side of the heart led to dangerously low oxygen levels. The procedure involved administering anesthesia which was critical as the baby was just a few days old.
The baby's body temperature was cooled to 15 degree Celsius and the circulation was stopped and under suspended animation the tumor was completely removed. The tumor was a leiomyoma- a benign tumor (a tumor commonly seen in the uterus of women).
For the first time in the world a leiomyoma of the heart has been reported in a newborn. The baby has recovered well and can expect to lead a normal life.
